My Project

I have 25 third graders in my classroom. They are amazing humans who want to be the best they can be. I love spending my days with them! I am looking for tools to help them with emotion regulation and focus. This project includes several items that can help students find their calm or get their wiggles out.

Help me give my students resources to understand and regulate their emotions and to build strong, healthy relationships with flexible seating, books, and timers.

My job is to educate the whole child; this includes intentional social emotional instruction about feelings, responsibility, and relationships. I am also requesting several books that will help me teach my students these interpersonal skills with stories they can relate to. As a reading specialist, I have learned the power of using stories to teach lessons. Students remember the characters and connect with the stories, so the lessons remain in their hearts and minds long after the reading is done.

Thank you for considering how you can help my third graders have a deeper understanding of themselves and develop strong, healthy relationships! Your investment in our classroom will have far-reaching effects in our community.
