Mindfulness Corner




I've posted a new Donor's Choose Project recently for a Mindfulness Corner.  Sonic has so generously donated $200 to this project, but we have a ways to go. I'd really appreciate your taking the time to read more about it, share with friends and family, and perhaps donating.  Every dollar counts!  This would bring a space into our classroom that would allow kiddos to self regulate.  Sometimes we just need to take a  break in order to keep going.  This space would give students a place to read quietly, draw pictures, color mandalas, play with some fidgets, or just take a breath.  I don't want this to be a punitive space.  I want for students to ask to go to the corner when they feel like they need a break. I'm actually going to be working on a Google Doc QR code request sheet that they would need to fill out prior to using this space just to give me some more information on why he/she feels they need to use this space. I'll share that as a freebie once completed.  What do you do to help your kiddos self regulate?  I'd love to hear and see your ideas.  Please comment below or use hashtag #mindfulnessclassroomcorner!
