Mark Brackett, PhD, and author of "Permission to Feel" says that "We have a crisis on our hands and it's victims are our children." As a teacher of fourth-grade students, I've seen too many children who are unable to self-regulate in the classroom. They come to school not prepared to learn and unable to manage their emotions. They fall asleep at their desk, fidget with little pieces of paper, crumple things up and even pound on their desk when frustration looms large. Brackett says that identifying emotions is an important step in helping to manage them. There's a reason Mark Brackett is the Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. And a reason I want to promote emotion identification and emotion regulation in my classroom. Some of the items on my wish list include the following: *SEL bracelets in different colors that align with Brackett's Mood Meter to help students identify and regulation emotions *Ziploc bags to store these bracelets *Noise cancelling headphones to help with focus in our overcrowded classrooms and to help students realize that they can be action-oriented in controlling their environment *Desk separators to help students have privacy and to focus during learning time *Squishy balls for my Chill-Out corner to allows students to manipulate the balls to vent frustration, anger or anxiety *New student whiteboards, erasers, and whiteboard cleaners to help with student learning and to create a cleaner room with revitalized materials; and for students to know that they are valued. These purchases will help me to meet the following Social and Emotional Learning indicators adopted by Washoe County: 1A: Demonstrate knowledge of one's emotions. 1B: Demonstrate knowledge of personal strengths, challenges and potential.
