Mrs. Orcutt met with Ms. Hennessy’s 4th grade class to introduce the Calming Corner. Students learned that this is a safe space to take a short break, refocus, and use coping strategies when they are feeling upset, frustrated, or overwhelmed. Together, we reviewed the purpose, rules, and expectations for using the space respectfully, as well as different coping skills available such as breathing exercises, positive self-talk, and mindfulness tools. The Calming Corner is designed to help students return to class ready to learn and do their best.
