Back to Basics

Help me give my students a fully equipped counseling corner. With these supplies and sensory tools, I will be able to service the students at my school with more ease.

My Project

I love that my students are learning about their social emotional well-being. They are using the lessons they learn during SEL to get along with others. One strategy they have learned is to go to a calming corner when they need it. They have a carpet, pillows, books.They have informed me the calming corner is missing something..

They would like to see more calming tools such as figets.

Because this is a brand new coulseling space, basic office needs are in short supply. I would like to have a laminator to create visual schedules, and calming tool cheat sheets that are durable and resuable.
