Strong Emotions!

Help me give my students some ways to calm down. Some students have strong emotions and need an outlet to express those emotions.

My Project

It is easy for anyone to get frustrated while learning something new but when you have a disability also added to the mixed it can make the task seem extra challenging. These materials I can provide a break with a social emotional component added. Sometimes after a brain break, the concept being taught is suddenly clicked into their brain what they were not understanding before. I would like to have a variety of brain breaks for students to pick from.

Finally, these materials come in handy during state standardized testing.
