Calm in the Classroom
|
|
|
First grade teacher Victoria Munroe, MA, was the Therapro January Saturday Seminar speaker who discussed Regulation in the Classroom from an Educator's Perspective. She guided us in a virtual tour of her classroom that left us wishing we could be one of her students!
She offered many options for self-regulation throughout the school day that were easy, practical, and really work! We loved the classroom's "quiet cupboard" outfitted with fidgets, weighted materials, timers, and books. Some of the sensory-motor materials she could use in this area might include: Howda Designz Chairs, Quiet Fun Fidget, Spaghetti Ball, or My Mindful Music CD.
To get a more detailed account of her talk about her sensational classroom you can refer to Filomena's blog. Also, be sure to see essential segments of the seminar here on our YouTube channel.
