Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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.

My Project

More students than ever are having difficulty managing their emotions. In addition to students with social, emotional, and behavioral disabilities who I see for regular counseling, more and more students are looking for a place in the school that is calming. I am asking for materials to address my students' SEL needs, to transform my office into a place where students feel safe, and can work towards expressing their feelings. Once students enter my office, I want them to have choices about activities they would like to use for SEL and therapy so that they can find tools that work for them to manage their emotions.

Grades 3-5
