I Can Calm Down When I Have Big Emotions

Help me give my students emotion regulation and problem-solving skills through books and activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Blackburn's classroom raised $694

This project is fully funded

My Project

There is an increasing need for mental health resources in the school setting. I have many students who struggle to regulate their emotions and make friends. These materials would teach my students how to handle strong emotions and conflicts. Storybooks are a great way to teach children that others struggle with the same issues and show them ways to calm down and problem-solve.

The help from you can help me change the way these students are able to act in their classroom and at their own homes.

Help me create a positive change in these students' lives. I will be beyond grateful!
