What are breaks used for and when/how should you ask for one? How about the calming corner?
Breaks are used for when you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unsafe, etc. How to ask - ask Ms. S. She will determine when is a good time, and ask the appropriate people, it might take a minute for them to respond OR they might not be available (be patient please). Ask when you think you need one, but no first 10/last 10.
The calming corner is open for a couple minutes to decompress. Try asking to use this first before a break outside of the classroom to see if it helps!
What seat are you expected to sit in?
Your assigned seat
What is one of Ms. S's biggest fears?
Being trapped underwater in an enclosed space, missing my alarms, cooking something bad and feeding it to people, etc

What does it mean when the cat pencil sharpener stops working? How can you use the pencil sharpeners appropriately?
Your pencil is sharp, no need to attempt to keep sharpening! Use it when needed, its not a social event, do it quickly and when Ms.S isn't talking
What shows CLIMB more: treating others with respect, going beyond expectations, doing your best or making people feel excluded, being unkind, giving up when things get hard.
treating others with respect, going beyond expectations, doing your best
When should you ask to go to the nurse? What should you not go to the nurse for?
When you are actively bleeding, feeling extremely sick (about to vomit), emergencies etc. You don't need to go if you have a little headache, if you have a scratch, or if you have a slight stomachache. Try drinking some water, getting a bandaid, sitting in the calming corner, asking to eat a snack etc first to see if it helps!

Standing behind your chair, materials cleaned up, chairs pushed in, trash picked up, quietly looking for dismissal, being awesome
