SEL Tools for Student Success

Help me give my students a classroom full of calming tools and books to regulate their emotions!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Johnston's classroom raised $824

My Project

COVID-19 had a significant impact on elementary students across the country by closing schools and disrupting students' regular routines. This change in the school norm affected their social interactions, emotional well-being, and learning outcomes. The Pandemic was devastating for many.

The items I have requested in my project will directly be used with my 4th grade students.

I have requested social emotional learning books, a voice amplifier and microphone, and emotion regulating resources. The voice amplifier and microphone will especially help students who struggle with voice clarity and learning a second language.

My students will use these items in the classroom individually, in small groups, and when sharing with the class. Thank you for your consideration in funding my project and making an impact in my students' learning.
