My Project

These materials will be used by any student in the school who needs a break from the traditional classroom environment in order to regulate their emotions and return to the classroom ready to learn.

They will have tactile resources to feel safe and secure as well as informational resources to guide them through challenging emotions.

The goal of this project is to set students up for success both socioemotionally and academically. Only when students are emotionally regulated will they be able to meet their academic potentials.

Thank you for your consideration!

Ms. Tsuchida Young Oak Kim Academy Grades 6-8
