My Project

Let Them Feel Loved is a project to bring weighted stuffed plushies to my classroom.

Help me give my students Weighted stuffed plushies.

These plushies are a way to help students regulate their emotions. Self-regulation is key to a calm teaching and learning environment.

Anxiety among young people seems to be continuing to rise. identifying emotions and being in control of oneself is key to learning and growing mentally and emotionally. It is my hope to bring some comfort into my classroom. Let's help these students feel safe, secure, and loved!
