Before a student can be ready to learn, they must have regulated minds and bodies Many of my students come to class with feelings of anxiety and stress that make them feel defeated before they even walk in the door. They are worried about peer relationships, the length of the school day, problems at home, and language barriers just to name a few. To combat some of these triggers for students, I have worked tirelessly with our school counselor and psychologist to implement a self-regulation program. I am seeking sensory objects to support students' ability to choose tools that will help them regulate their bodies and minds so that they can learn at school. For example, if a student is feeling wiggly or anxious, he/she may choose to sit on a ball during reading instruction. The movement will provide the physical energy release needed to allow the child to focus. When a child feels frustrated or angry, playing in the sensory table filled with beads or sand can help to calm them. When a child has the tools needed to bring them back to a place of calmness and security, they have a better chance of reaching learning targets, feeling successful, and achieving their potential.
