With the help of her teacher and friends, Emma learns that it's okay to need special things to feel calm. Through understanding and kindness, her classmates help her feel safe and happy.
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Emma. Emma loved colors—bright blues, sunny yellows, and soft pinks. Painting made her happy because it helped her show how she felt inside. One morning, Emma woke up excited. Today at school, her class was going to paint! She smiled as she packed her backpack, making sure to bring her special lap pad, which made her feel calm when things got too busy or loud.
When Emma got to school, Ms. Green, her teacher, greeted the class with a warm smile. - Today, we’re going to paint whatever we like! she said. The classroom was filled with laughter and chatter. Emma smiled too, thinking about the beautiful colors she would use. But then the children got louder, and the noise started to feel too much for Emma.
The bright lights in the classroom made her head feel funny. Her smile started to fade. Emma hugged her soft lap pad tightly. It helped a little, but she still felt uncomfortable. She didn’t know how to ask for quiet.
Ms. Green noticed Emma sitting quietly, holding her lap pad. She walked over and knelt beside her. - Emma, would you like to go to the quiet corner for a while? Ms. Green asked softly. Emma nodded. Ms. Green had a special place in the classroom with soft pillows where Emma could sit when things felt too loud.
Emma went to the corner, hugged her lap pad, and took deep breaths. The quiet made her feel better. But she still worried. - What if I can't paint with everyone else? she thought. She wanted to join in but felt too overwhelmed.
After a while, Emma felt calm again. She was ready to paint. She picked bright blues and greens and began to paint big, beautiful swirls. She felt happy as the colors flowed across the paper, just like the feelings inside her.
When she finished, Ms. Green smiled and held up Emma’s painting for the class to see. - Look at the beautiful picture Emma made, she said. The whole class looked at the colorful painting. - Wow, Emma! her friend Jake said. - That’s amazing! Emma smiled proudly.
At the end of the day, Ms. Green spoke to the class. - We all have different ways of feeling and understanding the world, she said. - Emma has her quiet corner and her special lap pad to help her feel calm. And we can all help by being kind and understanding. The children nodded, learning that sometimes friends like Emma might need quiet or special tools to feel safe. And that’s okay, because everyone is special in their own way.
