My Project

I am hoping to get this funded to help my kids have a safe space in the classroom to go when they need a break. I also will use the emotions and feelings resources to help them communicate about how they feel and find techniques to help them calm their body and minds. These are all things that will be used daily and incorporated into learning materials as well. I believe students learning about their emotions and how to properly process their emotions are vital to them and to others.
