Break Time I need a break! Sometimes work gets hard the class is too loud or I get frustrated. When this happens I can ask to take a break. I should say "may I take a break please?". When I take a break I have choices of things I can do. I can go to a quiet spot in the room. It may help to quietly count to ten. Blowing air in and out slowly can help me calm down and relax. I can use an item from the sensory box. Sometimes leaving the room for a quick drink of water is all I need for a break. One rule during my break is that I must be quiet so I do not disrupt other friends working. When my break is over I need to return to my desk and do my work.
