Project Goal

As the school counselor I am hoping to create calm down toolboxes for each of my teachers to have in their classrooms for student use. It will contain a number of resources for the students to choose from when needed.  

 

How Project Benefits Students

Last year I realized that many of our classrooms have a space for students to go to when they need a break but often, they don't have the supplies they need, and the students don't know what to do when they get there. I had one class in particular that abused the use of the space, and it caused a lot of interruptions to the learning in the room and especially for that student. This year I plan to go to each class and teach the students how to use the space and teach them the calming techniques they can use when they get there.  

 

Expected Outcome(s)

I would love to see the space used correctly so that it helps students learn tools and tips for remaining calm and how to reset when needed. A space that is the same in all the rooms allows for a universal language to be created that the kids recognize and can use no matter how old they are or whose class they are in.
