My Project

Help my students receive tools that can support regulating their emotions. Some students love to feel pressure while they are regulating their emotions and Bumpas are a great way to provide this support. Students will be able to have a choice in which Bumpa they would like to use for the extra hug while learning. We also hope to receive Little Spot books to teach self-worth and other important life skills Kindergarten students are working on.

Help us make a difference in 5-6 year olds' lives by providing these resources to help regulate their emotions!
