My Project

I love watching my students feel safe and loved while learning. It is so important to me that students are able to learn social emotional skills at a young age. The items on my list will help to foster a sense of community in the classroom, welcome creative thinking, and develop a love for learning.

When students have access to items that help them regulate, they are much more likely to engage in the learning process.

I plan to use each resource to strengthen the foundational skills of each of my students.
