We had a whole kindergarten meeting in order to talk about using our materials responsibly. They were also very excited about the building tracks and those have been the most popular option!

We came up with options for what to do when students are feeling disregulated and then together created a colorful photo \"menu\" for kids to choose from. That was laminated and put up in our 'calm down corner', as well as she and I both carried one with us. This is the type of tool that in the past I likely would have had to recreate several times, or copied in black and white. But now, students are drawn to the shapes and colors and are excited to try using the different strategies!\r\n\r\nI also created several independent activities for students to work on together. I can use these for many years, thanks to you!\r\n\r\nTeaching can be an unforgiving and sometimes lonely profession.
