Preschool is a big transition for children. They are with new people and peers in a space that is unfamiliar all day. They are still learning how to navigate their own bodies and now are learning how to navigate through a school day. Children can feel overwhelmed and scared, leading to "meltdowns" which is very common, especially in the beginning of the school year. Preschool aged children are just learning how to express their needs and wants, as well as express and understand their feelings. These materials will give my students the ability to learn about and practice their social-emotional skills throughout the school day, independently and collaboratively with peers. Giving my students a comfortable space to reflect and work through their emotions will help decrease the length of "meltdowns." Giving children objects to manipulate and engage their senses can help reduce the amount of time needed to "calm down." Most children are visual and tactile learners. These materials, such as books and picture cards, are geared towards giving children visual prompts to help remind them of the skills and tools they have been taught to manage their emotions and feelings. Building tools, such as puzzles and matching activities, engage their tactile senses in order to give them another option to learning about their emotions.
