My Project

My kindergarten kids are full of emotions. Most of their emotions they can control, but sometimes they have an emotion they can not control in the moment. I want to provide the calming tools to help my kids deal with big emotions when in the classroom.

I want me classroom to be a comfortable and safe environment for all.

My students need to learn that having different emotions is ok, and that they can control them. Sometimes you may not have a good day, and having certain tools to keep their minds off a tough emotion is important. These social emotional gadgets will help my students on a daily basis.
