THE CALMING CORNER: 

• My internship site at Lincoln Heights Elementary School, I've conducted an observation on k-5 grades based on their social/emotional needs. 

• After careful observing and interviewing students from all grade levels, students have expressed anxiety, tiredness, stress, and overwhelmed during the school day.

• I created a corner for all students and facility to use when they're feeling overwhelmed throughout the day.  

• These techniques can not only be used for stress and frustration but, also be used before and after major testing days. 

• On the bulletin board are different techniques for everyone to use to feel calm and relaxed throughout the day.

• Strategies on board include the following; Breathing techniques, drinking water, wall sit-up, stretching techniques, eye resting, and words of encouragements.
