Social Emotional Learning

Help me give my students access to toys and books that support their social emotional learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Harper's classroom raised $632

This project is fully funded

My Project

In a classroom filled with lively, expressive students, becoming over stimulated and experiencing conflict is sometimes unavoidable. Having access to things like the sensory boards, and Making Good Choices game will allow students the opportunity to learn to properly channel their energy.

Students will learn how to identify good choices using The 'Making Good Choices' game.

This will help them to better avoid and possibly resolve conflicts on their own.

Additionally, having materials like plastic gloves and a vacuum cleaner will serve to keep us safe from harmful elements and our environment clean.
