This episode marks 100(!) episodes of Kindergarten Café, and we’re talking about something every classroom should have: a calm down corner.
I’m walking you through what it is, why it matters, how to set one up (without needing a ton of stuff), and how to introduce it so students actually use it to regulate and not avoid learning or feel punished.
In this episode I share:
- Why this space isn’t a timeout—but a teaching tool for self-regulation
- How to set it up so it’s private and safe
- What to include (and what to skip) to keep it simple and effective
- How I teach students to use it—with modeling, practice, and support
- The trick to managing it without it becoming a reward or a distraction
