Middle school students often have a hard time identifying and managing their emotions. It can be difficult for students to focus on what their teachers are saying when they are distracted or upset by other things they are dealing with in their lives. I am requesting items students can use to calm down or manage their emotions in order to return to class more ready to learn. Often times students are so upset when they enter my office that they have a difficult time communicating their thoughts. The tools I am requesting will be useful for them to reflect and calm down, so we can talk about the things that are bothering them.
