Students will be encouraged to monitor and regulate their difficult emotions like anger and frustration by using their classroom Chill Zone kit. The goal is for students to use the space to regain their composure so that they can rejoin the group, typically within 5 minutes.
In this safe space, students will reflect upon and write about what caused their strong feelings and decide on a strategy or tool that will help them calm down. Fidget toys such as squishies and glitter wands work to disengage students' strong emotions, effectively deactivating their fight, flight, or freeze response and engaging the thinking part of their brains.
Some of the other materials included in these kits will be deep breathing visuals, books, yoga cards, coloring pages, stuffed animals, and developmentally appropriate "Think About It" sheets.
