The “comfort zone” is used to help children get away from everyone

else, to gather their own thoughts, to relax. We set our “comfort zone”

up under a desk in our room that we do not use. We put a bean bag chair

and some pillows for comfort and softness and hung pictures on the wall

around it. Some kids have brought pictures from home to put under

there. It is also important to hang a sign that shows only one person

at a time in the “comfort zone”. Our signs looks like this: (on a

large note card)

Comfort Zone

(stick-figure )—one person
