Little Learners, Big Skills: Materials for Social and Self-Regulation
Help me give my students hands on, concrete tools to identify & regulate their emotions. From materials that name and help identify emotion, to sensory tools for regulation, weighted stuffies, illuminated breathing guide, and dolls representing our class.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sara or Teacher Sara's classroom raised $994

My Project
My students are passionate little learners, with big ideas, big feelings, big actions based on feelings. My students lean best with vibrant, concrete materials that draw their focus and give them clear tasks for their hands and their bodies. Many of our current materials are filled with bite marks or are outdated.
We would love your support to refresh our learning environment, and help our kiddos thrive.
Learning to identify, regulate, and communicate their big feelings effectively helps them be ready to learn, ready to engage one another socially, ready to respond effectively to our bustling, busy world. Thank you for considering partnering with our classroom.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
