Social-Emotional Learning Matters Too!

Help me give my students a school and safe space to self-regulate their emotions, enabling them with the tools to have a successful school year. We strive to educate the WHOLE child.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Seow's classroom raised $506

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

All materials chosen for this project will be used to help our students be more self-aware and help them to self-regulate their emotions. Many students, especially during this trying time are under a lot of unnecessary stress that we were not able to prepare them how to deal with it.

Providing tools to support our students emotional growth, will also contribute to their academic growth.

These materials will be used to create a space where students can take emotional breaks from the classroom setting, providing a warm, encouraging environment to help them identify how they are feeling and why they are feeling that way to enable to return to their classrooms ready to learn.
