My Project

I am an elementary school special education teacher and have multiple students with social skill/ emotional regulation difficulties/disabilities. I would love to create a classroom where students can feel comfortable to work through their emotions. I want to help accelerate their learning to close the gap in their social skill instruction (like the Spot books and social emotional curriculum!!) I want my students to have access to a variety of resources and materials to feel comfortable in my classroom (like flexible seating options!) Allowing my students to have a choice and a voice in the strategies that work best for them. A laminator allows for my students choice cards and strategies cards to be safe and protected from unforeseen circumstances that could affect them.
