Title 1 Social Emotional Resources for Student Development

Help me give my students access to social emotional resources and learning tools! All of the tools will help my students regulate themselves, will help sort my SEL books, and the decor will make my students feel welcomed.

My Project

This project means a lot to me and my students. I am reorganizing my counseling office and my students will really benefit from your support! I like to create an inviting, welcoming, calming and supportive space for my students. All of the resources in this project will help me create that calming space for my students. I am always looking to revamp my office space and resources. This would mean a lot to all my students!

My goal is to have a more inclusive and calming environment for everyone.

These resources will help the students access materials much easier, help them build their regulation skills, and will create a supportive environment for all. I hope this project is successful in helping my students grow and learn more regulation skills.
