My Project

In first grade emotional regulation is a skill that is desperately needed. Help me give my children this skill by donating to our calm down space. By getting fidgets, timers, and other necessary materials you are helping us provide a safe space to sort out our emotions. In addition, the bouncy bands will help students who have a hard time sitting still be able to learn and move at the same time. My goal is to help children learn to name and regulate emotions, and your donation would go along way to help with this.
