My Project

One of the important things children learn as they grow and develop is how to appropriately and safely manage their wide range of emotions. Social Emotional Learning happens every day in a classroom. One important life skill students need to learn is how to calm down when they are upset or angry. Students who are escalated are not able to learn in a classroom and often disrupt the learning of others in their heightened state of emotion.

These materials will be added to the calm down box for our classroom.

Students who are in need of emotional regulation can use the calm down box to manage their emotional regulation and calm down in a safe way.
