"This resource has provided great visuals for my calm down corner. My students will use the corner to identify their feelings, write or draw how they are feeling and choose an idea of how to help themselves calm down/feel better!"

Description

All students need an opportunity to refocus, regain composure, reflect, or just take a moment to release stress. By providing a designated and well thought out space in the classroom for students to do just that, you can reduce classroom disruptions, teach self regulation, and provide opportunities to develop coping skills that will last a lifetime.
Sometimes students are off task, impulsive, or distracted. Sometimes students carry stress and anxiety that is manifested in the form of impulsive outbursts, anger, meltdowns, crying, yelling, arguing, or other types of emotional release.
Students don't always know what to do with strong emotion and need to learn to recognize and regulate their own emotions.

This file contains directions and printables to create a behavior management area "Take A Break" station which encourages children to manage and regulate their own emotions and behavior and to reflect on classroom behavior and situations. It is a great alternative to behavior clip charts and time out chairs!

This has been an excellent addition to our "Take a Break" space. It provides clear, visual cues that help my students identify when they need a moment to regulated themselves and offers concrete steps to do so. It has definitely helped foster more independence in our classroom management routine.
