My Project

My students are amazing and have a lot of energy! They come to school focused and ready to learn. However, sometimes they can get overwhelmed and need to take a break. We are learning coping strategies and ways to self-regulate when our emotions get the best of us. We currently have a calming corner where they can practice these techniques, calm down, and get back to learning. However, some of the items are consumable and need to be replenished throughout the year. I'd love to have a few more items to use for the remainder of this school year and to be ready for the beginning of the next school year.
