Calming Corners

A calming corner is an area of your classroom dedicated to giving students a moment to calm down. These corners generally include flexible/comfortable seating, cozy blankets and pillows, and tools students can use to help them regulate their emotions. These posters would be a wonderful addition for any calming corner! They could be displayed on the walls around the calming corner, reminding students of strategies they can use to calm down. Or, they could be combined in book form (either stapled together or put into a binder) for kids to flip through encouraging them to use which ever strategy they like the best!
