Social Emotional Learning (SEL) & Sensory Supports Special Education Classroom

Help me give my students tools they need in order to self-regulate in the classroom and make gains in social emotional learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. McCloskey's classroom raised $620

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students need these items to help them learn about self-regulation and engage in social emotional learning. The students have trauma, and deficits in social emotional regulation, and are also students with disabilities. These items will be used for coping and calming guided breathing and meditation and sensory videos for students self-regulate their emotions and behaviors. I will download calming apps on the iPad (breathing, yoga, self-regulation) to help teach the students about the feelings in their bodies.

Sensory regulation strategies are useful tools you can use to help individuals to calm down or to energize when they need to.

The students will use sensory items like slime and magnetiles for sensory input to help regulate their nervous systems.

Students with trauma and other related disabilities also struggle with getting along together in a peaceful way. I will use the ipad and magnetiles for activities that foster social emotional learning.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is a developmental process that helps people learn skills to support healthy relationships and development. SEL skills include:

Self-awareness

Self-management

Social awareness

Relationship skills

Responsible decision-making

Empathy

Goal setting

Emotional management

SEL is an educational method that can be integrated into school curricula. It can help students develop skills that are important for school and life, and can also promote academic achievement and well-being.
