My kids struggle with lots of trauma they’ve experienced at home. School should be their safe place and a place where they learn how to safely and appropriately handle their emotions. Sensory items help calm people down when they’re angry. Instead of throwing a chair or punching someone, I’d like to teach them to grab a sensory bucket and use it to calm down. These items would help that happen. All these items would be used at different times when they are angry, frustrated, anxious, etc. It would create a much calmer learning experience for my classroom. Please consider helping.
