Ella - Using My Break Card

A break card is a special card that helps me tell my teacher when I need some quiet time. My break card has my name on it and shows a picture of a quiet space. I have a break card because sometimes the classroom gets too noisy or busy for me.

I can tell I need a break when my body feels uncomfortable or my thoughts get jumbled. Sometimes my heart beats faster, my hands get sweaty, or sounds seem too loud. When I notice these feelings, it means my body is telling me to take a break.

I keep my break card in a special pocket in my desk where I can easily reach it. When I need a break, I take my card and hold it with both hands so it stays safe. I hold my card carefully so it does not bend or get lost.

When my teacher sees my break card, she will nod to show she understands. My teacher will quietly point to the break area or the hallway where I can go. I can walk there by myself because I know the way.

In the break area, I can choose an activity that helps me feel calm. I might squeeze a stress ball, look at a calming jar, or put on headphones to listen to quiet music. Sometimes I might take a short walk in the quiet hallway with the teaching assistant.

Taking breaks helps my mind and body feel calm again. When I feel too much energy or too many feelings, a break gives me space to reset. After my break, I can think more clearly and listen better during lessons.

When I feel ready to join the class again, I tell my teacher I am finished with my break. I might say, "I am ready to come back now" or give a thumbs up signal. My teacher will smile and help me see what activity the class is doing.
