This is our Sunshine Chair! It is a very special place in our classroom where friends can go to relax, regroup, think and feel safe. In our classroom anyone can go and sit in the sunshine chair any time they want. Friends also may be invited to sit in the sunshine chair. While sitting in the chair friends are able to look at a classroom family photo, smell flowers and calm their minds. My goal this year is to have fresh flowers at the sunshine chair all year! It is not just for students! I myself have used the chair once or twice when I am feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, sad or if I just need some space. I do this to model the expectations for how to use the sunshine chair, to identify feelings and to help friends self regulate. Also, so friends know that it is not a time out chair or take a break chair.
Feel free to stop by anytime and check out this amazing space in our classroom!
I wish you well!
Love,
Miss Brehm
