My Project

Many of my students have difficulty regulating their emotions and their bodies. They often appear out of control and engage in impulsive behaviors. We work on recognizing when our bodies are out of control and what to do.

Some of us may be little people, but we have big emotions that we must learn to control.

We would love some new books and activities that we can use to continue our journey to controlling our emotions and our bodies. We love new books and will be so excited to add them to our classroom library.
