I want to create a space, called the calm corner for students to come to during the school day when they are feeling anxious or stressed. The calm corner will have activities (books, coloring pages, fidget toys, etc) to help them destress and be ready to go back to class.
In the last several years I have seen an increase in anxiety and depression in my students. I have several that come see me on a regular basis because they are anxious, having a panic attack, stressed, upset, etc. This calm corner would give them a space to work through those feelings in a safe place instead of leaving the school or crying in the bathroom.
