My Project

I am currently the lead teacher at a school of 307 students. Our school houses a therapeutic program for students who struggle with emotional regulation.

I am requesting the varied fidget tools such as the emotion cushions and penguin stress balls to reach several different types of students who need external support to regulate their emotions and be available for learning.

My goal for this project is to have these tools available for the students within the program as well as all students who may struggle with big feelings throughout the day.

All students are special because they are elementary-aged children who are learning how to be amazing citizens within our community. They are learning how to navigate the world while receiving their education and that is a pretty amazing thing to watch!
