Help me give my students tools to help them manage their big emotions that they feel throughout a day at school! This includes exercise balls, cushions, fidgets, and more.
My students struggle with managing big emotions that they feel throughout the school day. My goal is to make my classroom a safe place for all students to feel comfortable and ready to learn. To help me do this, I would love to be able to provide them with tools and materials to guide them through managing their feelings.
Throughout the school day, students experience a wide range of emotions, from excitement for recess, to stress over a math test, to worrying about something at home.
Oftentimes, these feelings show up in a variety of ways and each student needs something different to help them work through their feelings. Sometimes students need a fidget. Sometimes they need a different seating option. Sometimes students need to be in a calming location within our classroom.
All of these materials (exercise balls, cushions, fidgets, etc.) will help my students when things are feeling overwhelming and guide them through managing their feelings independently.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
