Calming Tools

Help me give my students materials to help them calm down when they are in an elevated emotion. Sensory Sand, Fidgets, and calming tools can help students to regulate themselves so that they can problem solve.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These items will help students to calm down when elevated. Students often choose the sensory sand as a calming tool because they find it soothing and satisfying. Once calm, students are able to talk through their struggles and are then able to return to class feeling heard and ready to learn.

Students also earn prizes from counseling if they are working towards specific goals that are based on attendance, behavior, and emotion regulation.

We recognize growth and help students to work on goals one step at a time. This builds confidence to raise goals higher in the future.
