My Project

These social emotional items will help students learn to manage emotions such as anger, frustration, stress, and anxiety. We will use these items for calm down time, and individual counseling to help students learn alternative strategies for managing behavior. In addition, they will be used in small group counseling sessions to aid and support student mental health.

By helping students learn to manage their emotions, they can be free to learn.

and build strong peer relationships that will make school an appealing place to attend. Growth through these materials will align with our school wide goals to improve attendance and the social emotional growth of students.

Even though we are no longer in a pandemic, many of our older students still struggle with the anxiety and stress created during that time. These emotions often lead to difficulties regulating other emotions. According to our social emotional survey results, about 60% of our students struggle with emotional regulation. These products would help them learn to manage their emotions and to display them appropriately.
