Calm Creations is an after-school club designed to help students build emotional awareness and coping skills through hands-on creativity.
This group combines social-emotional learning with fun, engaging crafts that students can use long after the club ends. Each week, we will begin with our consistent routine of “Roses and Thorns,” where students have the opportunity to share a positive moment from their week (a rose) and a challenge they may have experienced (a thorn). This predictable opening builds connection, encourages reflection, and helps students practice expressing their thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. After check-in, we will move into our weekly craft.
Each session focuses on creating a calming tool or fidget designed to help students regulate big emotions, manage stress, and improve focus.
Examples of creations may include visions boards, create your own journal, glitter jar, positive self-talk mirror, problem solving spinner, etc.
Students will leave each session not only with something they made, but having had a place to connect, create, and learn how to calm our minds and bodies together!
Parents must indicate in PikMyKid School Connections (McAlister) or individual program (Spaulding), so students can be safely dismissed.
Students in afternoon courses will stay in their classrooms until approximately 3:30pm when they will be dismissed through a central location before being sent to the assigned course location.
All students should be picked up promptly at the time listed for each course.
