My Project

Help me support my students by investing in our early learners! These tools will help my students (and your future community members!) increase their social-emotional skills. I work with a variety of early learners (3-5) in a variety of educational settings. My students are working on skills to support their needs in the classroom and in life. Regulation is such a needed skill, and it starts early! My goal for resources like Plush Dolls and other social-emotional tools is to help teach regulation, coping skills, and friendship/teamwork skills. My students and I would greatly appreciate any and all support! Imagine a room full of smiling and excited 3-5-year-olds utilizing these items to help support their skills.
