My Project
Social emotional learning is important for every student to be successful. My students will benefit from fidget toys to regulate emotions inside and outside of the classroom. Working on social skills, emotional regulation, and problem solving is needed for every student in school and outside of school. Students will use the items to grow their skills set through classroom lessons and apply the skills learned in the their classrooms. The use of these items will be helpful for my students to be successful in real situations and grow their skills set and problem solving skills in social situations.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
