It’s tough being a kid and learning how to navigate big emotions like sadness, anger, frustration, stress, and disappointment. I’m sure you’ve noticed that some of your students have a more difficult time than others when it comes to processing these types of emotions. We all have those students who have really big tempers, or become upset easily. Having a special space in your classroom where students can go to work through their emotions safely is a game-changer. I like to call this space a calm-down corner, and it does not need to be anything fancy! Today I’m sharing how to set up a calm-down corner and how to prepare your students to use it in a useful way.
