With the sand, magnets, and fidgets, teaching my students self-regulation and coping strategies will help them become better lifelong learners. They will miss less class time and be able to participate fully in the lessons their teachers are offering. They will learn how to manage their emotions and outbursts in the classroom and this will also generalize to home when they learn these strategies. Students now more than ever need to be able to cope with the stress around them. It is a stressful time for all of us, I want to make it a bit easier on these kiddos.
