Breath In, Breath Out

Help me give my students new tools for calming their bodies and minds in class.

My Project

As the school years rolls along, I have found students feeling anxious and stressed. We do a good job in our school of teaching strategies to work through their emotions. Adding fidgets to encourage these strategies would be incredibly helpful. Students are wiggly and squirmy, these calming devices make a huge difference in a simple way. With the variety of options, each student can find something that will help them when they need it. Our cool down corner, could also use a refresh after 4 months of school.

Having books that show girls from diverse backgrounds helps my student connect with them!

They love getting new books. Books that practically fight over to read.
