Can We All Just Calm Down!?

Help me give my students rewards and sensory opportunities. Gift cards will be used as raffle items and the other materials will be used as earned incentives, different types of sensory input, and for running the circle process.

My Project

Many of the students on our team are identified with high levels of anxiety, autism, ADHD, and other learning difficulties.

These items can be used in an inclusive classroom setting, or in a separate area for a short break as needed.

I would like to assist in the development of coping skills, in addition to academic skills. Since returning to school post COVID shut down, students have heightened needs. In addition, we are a PBIS school and some of these materials can be used to develop team rewards. Happy, healthy students lead to productive students.
