My Project

My students are loving, remarkable students in grades Kindergarten through 4th grade. They also are students that happen struggle with their big emotions. My classroom is designated to help them learn how to live and learn while focusing on reducing these big reactions to their big emotions.

In my classroom students have access to additional supports to help them learn how to co-regulate and self-regulate.

The fidgets, putty, and activities I am asking for will help my students learn how to regulate and allow them various ways to regulate while upset.
