My Project

My classroom is a K-2 Emotional Support Classroom. My students have trouble regulating their emotions and tend to have more behaviors than others. I have been creating a nice calm environment for my students. Being able to provide the items I have selected will help create a more warm and inviting environment. With different lights to make it calm, new books to help them relate to their emotions, a new bookshelf to store these books and extra storage to keep everything organized, will be just the added touches I need to make my room successful.
