My Students
My students from the Detroit metro area are part of a blossoming Positive Behavior Intervention and Support program (P.B.I.S). This unique program gives children from our school an opportunity to identify and understand their feelings and incorporate emotional regulation strategies so they can feel comfortable, safe, and successful in an educational environment. Our enthusiastic and energetic kiddos enter this classroom each and every day eager to grow and explore new paths towards emotional health. Their ability to persevere is remarkable.
My Project
For those experiencing a heightened emotional state there is a significant need for a space to burn excess energy and regroup throughout the day. Many students are still developing the stamina required to make it through an eight hour school day successfully. I have selected a space to become our "Stress-Less Zone" where my amazing kiddos can go to burn excess energy, collect themselves, and prepare to return to schoolwork.
These energy burning toys and fidgets will surely provide a fun way to safely shed some excess energy and stress brought on by our busy school days.
I have seen how just five minutes in spaces like this can have a positive effect and completely change the demeanor of a child under emotional duress.
