Calming Corner

Help me give my students a comfortable and safe environment to express their feelings with counseling games and fidgets.

My Project

I truly value what I do as a school counselor and believe that I make a true difference in their lives. These counseling tools will be extremely beneficial to help my students in achieving their Social and Emotional goals.

The counseling games will help my students learn how to make appropriate friendships, cope with their feelings and increase their self-esteem.

Children often learn best with visuals and through play therapy. These resources (counseling games, Me magnets, self-esteem cards, and fidget toys) will support my students by giving them the tools that they need to better themselves and have a positive school experience.

Mrs. Madaio PS 23 Richmondtown Grades 3-5
