My Project

Having social emotional learning tools available in a classroom is such an easy way to make a big impact on students.

Our students are learning about themselves every day and need access to quiet moments to reflect and find the courage to try again!

All of these focused and calming tools are useful as students learn to manage themselves and their environments.

Every student deserves the chance to feel calm and in control on their educational journey. Normalizing hard moments and teaching students how to work through hard feelings can not only change a moment or a day, but a whole life.
