Classroom Self-regulation

Help me give my students an opportunity to manage their emotions, develop self-regulation skills, and practice positive social interactions. Many of my students struggle with emotional regulation, impulsivity, and navigating peer relationships.

My Project

I work with PreK-8th-grade students, providing them with essential support to manage their emotions, develop self-regulation skills, and practice positive social interactions. Many of my students struggle with emotional regulation, impulsivity, and navigating peer relationships. To best serve them, I need a variety of SEL materials, sensory tools, and engaging activities that reinforce healthy coping strategies and social behaviors.

Your donation will help me provide:

Hands-on social-emotional learning tools, such as games, books, and role-playing activities that teach empathy, self-awareness, and decision-making.

Calming corner essentials, including breathing aids, fidgets, and flexible seating, to help students regulate their emotions in a supportive space.

Interactive reinforcement systems that encourage positive behavior through structured motivation and accountability.

By funding this project, you will empower students of all ages to develop the skills they need to be successful, not just in the classroom, but in life. Your generosity can make a lasting impact—help me create a nurturing, effective learning environment where students feel safe, supported, and ready to grow.
