A Feelings Check In Resource to go with my Calm Corner Collection. Includes: Instructions on using the Calm Corner and Feelings Check In. A Feelings Check In Sheet x 2 Strategies Emotions Calm Corners are great to use but you need to ensure that the area isn’t just for show and actually benefits the child. Using a feelings check alongside a behaviour chart and tracker paints an informative picture of: What triggers the child. Which strategies they have attempted Which strategies work. What you have done IN CLASS to help the child. Teacher modelling of a) using the Calm Corner and b) class expected behaviour when a child is using the Calm Corner is crucial. When using the calm corner, the child selects the emotion they are feeling and two strategies to combat it. Once the strategies have been completed children can either check in with an adult (sheet with big box) or self-evaluate and see if they are ready to re-enter the learning or need another strategy. Rules about timers and chances to check in with an adult may be useful here to avoid the never-ending cycle of strategies. Hold a class discussion on the Calm Corner, read a story or discuss feelings that sometimes need to be calmed. Create a class rule that encapsulates that when a child is using the Calm Corner that is their time and space and we must let them carry on. A feelings check in provides: A visual and purposeful way for the child to recognise and choose strategies for coping with their emotions. A record for you as a practitioner to build up your bank of information and evidence of the strategies used in the classroom to help the child for meetings/discussions with parents, SMT, ALNCOs, and external agencies. . A record to refer back to when identifying triggers; lessons, events, interactions. You can use these as worksheets that are filled in, laminated velcro sheets that can be photographed for evidence, or digitally edited with the child and kept in a folder.

Place Value Accordion shared on my Maths Monday instagram post @tenminuteteach. Great resource to use as a teaching tool for place value or as a scaffold/support for interventions and small groups. Editable to use with however many digits you want. Red and blue arrows show alternative folding.

Such a useful resource for those that need a bit of help with self-regulation. These can be printed out as posters, cut out as prompt cards or kept in individual’s trays/packs. To get the best out of these, I would talk through each one with a child when they are in a calm state of mind. Go through the cards together and ensure they understand any words they don’t understand. Includes picture prompts to aid understanding. It is good to check in and rehearse these strategies on a frequent basis as it is better to prevent a meltdown than cure one. Happy breathing! @Tenminuteteach
