My Project

This project is filled with materials to support co-regulation and for some students self-regulation. The bubbles will be used to practice breathing. Some students may use the bubbles for calming purposes when upset. The Purrble is a stuffed animal that uses a heart beat sound with vibrations to calm. The purrble may be used for students that are not yet willing to accept comfort from adults When upset. Kinetic sand is used every day during various activities. For example, some students will play with it while the teacher reads a book. Finally the yoga ball will be used to sooth children and for play. All these items are highly preferred and will make a great impact with my students.
