Awesome! If I can help in any way with it, just send me a DM and we'll connect!

Screencastify Submit is free and a great tool to use for student self-reflections as well!

It wasn't a big space. Just a corner with a bean bag chair and a area rug.
However, I have sent plenty of students on "fake" errands to another teacher with a note that said, "they just need some time/space" to give them space and time to breathe!

Thank you! Because sometimes it could be that they're over stimulated or just overly excited, not necessarily mad or angry. "Zen Zone" works for all feelings!

I definitely will!

That's my favorite T Swift song!

It's so wonderful that you've created a safe space for them to be vulnerable!

Thank you!

Definitely! Especially if you take the time to add some of that into your lessons!

Here's the usual favorite rap parody of mine: youtu.be/JGYlmS4sYco?...

Usually we talk about how our brain is a muscle that we have to train to become stronger or how challenges are like climbing a mountain (we usually talk about this one after a trip to climb Stone Mountain outside of Atlanta).

I make really bad educational rap parodies and post them on my YouTube channel and my students love it!

Love it! When I taught Sp. Ed. reading, my kids would make digital picture books and record themselves reading their book. We would share our books with the lower grades reading classes! Screencastify just featured it on their blog: www.screencastify.com/blog/bringin...

Thank you! I had that sign in my room right next to my desk so any student who came into my room would know that they could always come back if they needed anything.
