We have heard from many of you looking for additional mats to add to your collection. This set is for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal when creating these focus mats was to provide a free resource for teachers to use to help students enter the classroom and focus on the busy morning ahead of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These can also be an option for students working at home who need some ways to relax and get ready for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This specific resource has been created to help your students have a calming and relaxing entry into school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are providing you with five mats that you can copy and share with your students. You might choose to create a stack of each so students can choose the page they like best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"414\" data-pin-description=\"Free summer focus mats for a calming morning entry from The Curriculum Corner.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/summer-focus-1pinterest-1.jpg\" alt=\"summer focus mats\" class=\"wp-image-4839\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/summer-focus-1pinterest-1.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/summer-focus-1pinterest-1-203x300.jpg 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"414\" data-pin-description=\"Free summer focus mats for a calming morning entry from The Curriculum Corner.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/summer-focus-1pinterest-1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"summer focus mats\" class=\"wp-image-4839 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/summer-focus-1pinterest-1.jpg.webp 280w, https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/summer-focus-1pinterest-1-203x300.jpg.webp 203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/summer-focus-1pinterest-1.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The pages contain a variety of images for coloring such as frames and patterns. There are also mazes and a few other spots for children to write responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our thought in creating these is we wanted something simple for students to work on that would be relaxing. The process of coloring the designs contained on the mats and creating patterns can be a calming process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, for students who might be overwhelmed by the designs, a blank piece of paper might be a good option. Some students might prefer to simply draw or doodle instead of having a preprinted page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To complete these mats, we suggest students have access to colored pencils or fine tipped markers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can download these free summer focus mats for students here:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecurriculumcorner.com\/thecurriculumcorner456\/wp-content\/pdf\/classroommanagement\/summer%20focus%20mats.pdf\">Mats<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Looking for the original set?
