I Am Regular

Help me give my students ways to manage their emotions and executive functioning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Washington's classroom raised $638

My Project

What I love most about my students is their desire to learn about who they are. Once they feel comfortable they don't mind engaging in conversation about where it is they desire to be in life. The students I work with come from a variety of backgrounds that has damaged them emotionally, mentally and physically but seek the skills needed to not allow them to be stumbling blocks to their success.

My students have drive and determination and often untapped potential.

I plan to use the materials to assist my students with learning to manage their emotions and enhance their executive functioning skills.
