Breathing Techniques Wall Graphics Set

Students need tools to learn to self-manage their desired learning state. Learning and proper responses to environmental cues, such as how to be part of a group, prepares students to react more appropriately. Being aware of how our bodies and brains work together can be used to calm down or energize appropriately.

Not only does the respiration rhythm synchronize activity in brain regions involved in emotion and memory, it can also affect people's performance on tasks involving emotion and memory.

Why use the Breathing Techniques Wall Stickers in your Calming Corner?

• Easily Draw Students' Attention: These classroom breathing techniques stickers are printed with different shapes of breathing trainings as well as calming colors colors, such as flower shape, star shape, and so on.

How are these adhered to the floors? Are they permanent? 

They are adhesive stickers. Once you place them where you like them in the hallway, we recommend waxing over to maintain their structure throughout the year. If you decide you do not want them one day down the road they can be removed when the floors are stripped. If you decide to keep them, the maintenance can do a light strip and re-wax (which is typically how they do all of the floors each year).
