This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

For high school students, emotional regulation is essential as they face various stressors and transitions during this phase with wobble cushions and an organizer containers and bins.
Emotional regulation has several benefits for high school students.
It helps them develop resilience, cope with stress, and maintain positive relationships. Additionally, emotional regulation contributes to improved focus, decision-making, and overall mental well-being. However, many high school students struggle with emotional regulation due to various challenges, such as hormonal changes, academic pressure, and social expectations.
Creating a Supportive Environment
As educators, your role in fostering a supportive environment is crucial. Such an environment not only promotes emotional well-being but also encourages students to engage in emotional regulation activities. By creating a safe and non-judgmental space where students feel comfortable expressing their emotions, you can help reduce the number of behavioral problems in the classroom setting. Promoting a positive and inclusive school culture can also contribute to students' overall emotional well-being.
COOL-DOWN AREA
A cool-down area offers students refuge when emotions like anger, sadness, and anxiety appear. It is a dedicated space to practice emotional regulation skills in the classroom rather than in isolation, and it strengthens the educator-student relationship by communicating to the students that no matter what, they belong in the classroom community.
Supporting high school students in developing emotional regulation skills is crucial for their overall well-being and success. Students can strengthen their emotional regulation abilities by engaging in activities such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, journaling, board games, physical exercise, and seeking social support. It's important to remember that emotional regulation is not just a high school skill but a lifelong one. Encouraging students to continue practicing these activities beyond high school is a valuable lesson that can benefit them throughout their lives.
