My students love stress relief toys. Students with stress and anxiety benefit greatly with things they can fidget and play with. It often makes them feel more comfortable and open to talk. The Thinking Putty and Desk Sculpture are great at keeping hands busy and getting some nervous energy out. The punching toy is great for students with excess energy throughout the day or for students who are working through angry feelings. Additionally, I am looking to stock the office with some essentials our students may need but don't know how to ask for. Making things like soaps and toiletries available in baskets throughout the room will make them accessible to all. The baskets will also be used to store markers, colored pencils, coloring books and workbooks I keep around the office for students who want to draw or color as a calming activity. The chairs and table will help to make the room feel more like home. The oils will help provide some aromatherapy. When students are in an environment where they are comfortable they are more likely to express the feelings they may have and feel safe enough to work through them.
