My Project

We want students to come to school to learn reading, writing, math, problem-solving, critical thinking, etc. We want to teach them everything in our power in elementary school. The truth is, without teaching them social-emotional regulation techniques and giving them the tools to be successful in regulating their emotions, the aforementioned topics would be difficult to accomplish.

I hope to be able to help little ones master emotional regulation, one child at a time.

We foster, and they do the hard work. They teach others too.

Purrbles will be used for calming. Many students have been affected by trauma and this unique plush has been a popular item used for emotional regulation.

Noise-cancelling headphones will be used for kids who have sensory sensitivities. Loud noises can either trigger trauma or dysregulate students with sensitive ears.

Weighted vests will be used for students who need that extra temporary relief and compression to feel safe and regulated.

The office area rug will provide a comfy space for students to come in and practice their emotional regulation skills.
