Primary SEL Needs

Help me give my students the items they need to regulate themselves when they become upset; as well as some much needed learning games to help build social skills as well as improve their math and reading.

My Project

Hello,

As the teacher of a new primary SEL class, I have very little to work with within my classroom.

The students are in 2-3rd grade with various needs in social and emotional learning, as well as academics. These items will help me establish a base line where I can properly teach my students the strategies they need to cope with their emotions. Then learning will come easier to them when their frustrations are better controlled.

I plan to use the pillows in my calm down and library area where they will give my students a more comfortable place to relax when needed. The fidgets and liquid tiles will go in the calm down area, providing a calming effect when their emotions become more than they can handle.

The math and reading games/resources will be used for the kids to interact together, as well as learn together. Learning to take turns, listen to one another and participate appropriately.

The READ rug will be placed in my library area so again, the students have a more comfortable place to sit and read when independent reading is scheduled.

Thank you :)
