Calm Down Corner Kit Emu Themed

Empower Your Students with the Emu Calm Down Corner Kit
Do you find yourself spending precious instructional minutes managing classroom behaviors? The Emu Calm Down Corner Kit offers a solution. Whether you're starting from scratch or seeking alternative options for emotional moments, this kit can help.

By teaching your students self-regulation and calming strategies, such as those provided by the emu-themed kit, you can reduce time spent redirecting misbehavior. The kit's visual references, designated space, and included tools will aid your students in de-escalating and regaining a sense of calm and control. With these techniques, you can take your classroom management to the next level and help your students manage their emotions. The kit features a mood meter for assessing current emotional levels and conducting self-assessments after using the included counseling activities.

*** How to Create a Calm Down Corner with this Kit ***

Attach the cover page to the front of a binder.

Place the colorful pages in sheet protectors and place them in a spiral binder. Students will be able to write on them over and over again, saving you time! 

Place the binder in a basket or box.

Add other fidgets and sensory items in the box.

Create a corner of the room with a comfy seat for using the kit.

Use the enclosed poster to help students identify your calming area.

I would also suggest including a sand timer or other method of tracking time.

*** Who would benefit from this kit? ***

This kit can be used by school counselors, classroom teachers, special education teachers, school psychologists, social workers, or any other educator who helps children with emotional regulation.
