Aristotle stated that "Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all". Students today face so many challenges in the home, classroom and their communities. Healthy emotions are a key factor in driving attention, memory learning and decision making. The students in my classroom struggle with self regulation and lack the tools needed to help them achieve within the classroom. The atmosphere of the classroom is to teach students the soft skills that will help them be successful within the classroom and ultimately in society.
My Project
The materials requested will be placed in different centers in the classroom. The students will learn how the different activities can help them learn how to regulate their behaviors. Once the students are able to use the different tools in helping their behavior they will be able to rejoin their regular classroom.
Student in this classroom are placed here to help them develop the skills needed to help them succeed within the classroom.
The arts and crafts activities will help students who learn best with tactile objects. The calm activities will help students develop skills that they can quietly use everyday without notice. All of these activities will show students that there are different outlets other than acting out to regulate their behaviors.
