Self Regulation Isn't Easy!

Help me give my students the skills to independently self regulate their emotions with these books!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. White's classroom raised $930

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are super amazing! They learn skills to regulate their emotions through books and games. The visuals that these books provide are so beneficial for my students because they can remember and use them!

Ninja Life Hacks and a Little Spot books series will be instrumental in helping my students to be in control of their emotions and learn how to manage their impulsivity.

We used a few of these books last year and they were so effective in teaching self regulation skills in a fun, positive way. With these new materials, my students will learn valuable skills!
