My Project

I am a first year SEL coach working with elementary school kids. I work with a wide variety of students who have a variety of different needs as well. These materials will help my students return to a safe and healthy state of mind in a comfortable setting before returning to their classroom to continue learning.

These materials will help my students learn how to navigate their emotions, appropriately express their feelings, and learn healthy coping strategies in a comfortable setting.

The fidgets and wobble chairs will help them calm down and reset when they are enraged, the workbooks will provide lessons and activities to contribute to their self regulation skills, and the various book sets will allow them to practice their reading comprehension while learning valuable life skills.

Creating a space that is inviting, comfortable, and safe for all students is my priority!
