Help Our Little Learners Understand Their Feelings and Emotions

Help me give my students a way to help calm their bodies and increase their social and emotional skills.

Mrs. Knutson Brooklyn Elementary School
Brooklyn, CT Grades PreK-2

My Project

These sensory items will help our preschoolers learn to manage their feelings and emotions. We have a cozy corner in our classroom but have very limited materials. We only have a feelings poster and a few sensory items. The sensory tiles, bean bag chair, sensory/transitional items, and feelings activities and games will be a great addition to our classroom. Our students will benefit from a new and improved space to calm their bodies and learn about their feelings. Please help our students build their social and emotional skills! Thank you!
