My Project

This project was set forth to help my students communicate when words may not come or may not be known at the moment when emotions take over. Each item in my cart will be put in the calm-down corner to help with feelings and emotions. This included the fidget toys to calm down and refocus, along with the sensory tubes.

The emotion books will be used in class as a whole group to help teach about how we are all different and also how to deal with things that come up inside us.

Each of these items will be put to use to guide a better, well-rounded student and classroom environment.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
