Transform your classroom into a haven of tranquility with our "Calm Down Corner Pass." A calm down corner empowers students to self regulate and manage their emotions effectively, fostering a supportive and compassionate learning environment. Perfect for Year 3-6 students, a Calm Down Corner is designed to seamlessly integrate into your classroom routine, providing a structured approach to emotional wellbeing.

• Empowers Self-Regulation: Encourages students to recognise their emotions and take proactive steps to calm down, promoting self awareness and emotional intelligence.
• Easy to Use: Simply hand out the pass to a student who needs a break. The pass grants them access to a designated calm down area where they can relax and regroup.
• Promotes Positive Behaviour: Reinforces positive behaviour by providing a safe space for students to manage their emotions without disrupting the class.
• Durable Design: Laminate and ensure the pass withstands daily classroom use.

How to Use:

1. Introduce the Pass: Explain the purpose and benefits of the Calm Down Corner Pass to your students. Make sure they understand when and how to use it.
2. Designate a Calm Down Area: Set up a quiet, comfortable space in your classroom with calming resources like mindful coloring sheets, sensory tools, and relaxation prompts.
3. Distribute the Pass: When a student feels overwhelmed, they can ask for the pass. You can also offer it proactively if you notice a student struggling.
4. Time for Reflection: Allow the student to spend a few minutes in the calm down area to relax and regain focus.
5. Positive Reinforcement: After the break, engage in a brief conversation with the student about their feelings and reinforce the positive choice they made.

Creating a calm and supportive classroom atmosphere is essential for fostering student wellbeing and academic success. A calm down corner, designed well, is a simple yet effective tool to help students manage stress and emotions, leading to a more harmonious and productive learning environment.
