Give a Virtual Hug

Help me give my students social emotional games, and items to help them learn how to process and regulate emotions. Many students respond to positive reinforcement with snacks, candy and treasure box items.

My Project

As a special education and behavior intervention teacher, I work with students with disabilities, and challenging behaviors. Social emotional learning has become one of the most important aspects of teaching young children. Many children need help learning to regulate their feelings and get along with others. These timers and other items will help me in my behavior classroom and with positive behavior reinforcement. You are sending a hug to kids that need one daily! Snacks, candy and small trinkets help motivate even the most challenging behaviors. Many students have experienced trauma, or have disabilities that impact their emotions. Help me love on these kiddos!
