Help me give my students the supplies to manage big emotions and practice mindfulness and self-soothing skills at home to include glitter jars, stress balls, mandalas and coloring pages, feeling charts, and colored pencils. This unprecedented time due to the pandemic increases the level of trauma and is enhanced by the isolation from their friends and school community in person. Your support will enable my students to engage in their learning and well-being with breath work, sensory tools, and visual aids to help them self regulate and access their whole brain. This will allow them to be more present and participate in our school community, as well as at home, as we move into the start of a new school year. This project will provide support to every student and enhance their access to mindfulness and self-regulation in any setting; such essential life skills.
