My students have a lot of emotions that run through their veins when they are having a bad moment. These books and the calming ball will help them to find ways to understand and maintain their mental health. My students also may become upset when they are not able to follow the lessons when they can't see the materials being used. Obtaining some larger teaching tools will help my students to be present in the lesson.
Providing students with emotional support tools and books will help to build good mental health.
I would also like to give them an opportunity to post who they are around the classroom to give the other students in the class an opportunity to get to know their classmates.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
