A Whole School Social Emotional Library

Help me give my students a chance to cope with their big feelings!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Raman's classroom raised $573

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students at my school are experiencing difficulties expressing themselves and coping with their big feelings. The items in this project will help calm down the students. It will also provide them with safe options when they become dysregulated. It also includes alternate seating to help them focus on their learning. Alternate options are important for my classroom because there is no one size fits all approach.

Teaching students how to cope with their feelings especially the big feelings is so important to educating the whole child.

Addressing Students' social emotional needs is imperative to helping students be successful in their academic learning.
