SEL Tools and Resources Needed!

Help me give my students tools and an area to help them self-regulate.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Seow's classroom raised $995

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our school serves students from PK-5 in a low-income neighborhood, where funds are limited not only in the school budget but also in our families' budgets. The majority of the students we serve are of African-American descent, with a growing population of those classified as special needs. They strive to be the best and work hard with limited supplies.

In our school, we learn to be flexible and to work with our limited resources.

Our students deserve more and deserve the same opportunities as their peers throughout the district and the nation.

My Project

These SEL tools and resources are needed for when we return to in-person learning.

These resources will be used to help our students identify their emotions and self-regulate to ensure their actions do not interrupt their academics.

Due to the pandemic and in an effort to keep our students safe and healthy a socially distanced calming corner will be set up within classrooms to provide students a space to have their own individual tools and resources need to help them express and regulate their feelings. Tools include calming, stress relief toys, individual bins, easy to clean foam floor, charts to guide SEL practices, books, and cards to help teach students about the different emotions they are experiencing.

This unprecedented time is, unfortunately, having a negative effect on our students and we are trying to provide a positive outlet for these pent up feelings they are having during Distance Learning.
