Many of my students come to school with more baggage than is imaginable for most. They carry they weight of their family's circumstances, such as, parental incarceration, drug and substance abuse, and poverty. It can be difficult for my students to focus on multiplication facts or achieving the next reading level with everything else happening in their lives. I want to help make school a place of peace for students amidst the turmoil surrounding them at home. The baskets that I intended to create with these supplies wil have a special place in each classroom - 14 classrooms serving students in grades K-6. The items in these baskets will provide students with an opportunity for sensory and calming breaks in their classroom at anytime. Students might use the stress balls, glitter bottles, weighted balls, pinwheels, fidgets, and more when their anxiety becomes too much for them at any given moment. They can take a quick break to breathe and relax with one of many tools readily available in their calm down kits. With a little relaxation and help from their calm down kit, students might just be able to enjoy their day a little more!
