My students will be using the journals, and coloring supplies requested to begin working on their social and emotional skill development. Research continues to support the benefits of a pencil, crayon, marker to paper, as well as crafts! Coloring is much more than an activity to occupy a child for a short period of time. It is a learning tool that can help them be more well-rounded, emotionally stable, and organized. One of the most important benefits of coloring is the calming effect it has on children. Coloring has been shown to benefit emotional health by allowing children to process their feelings, especially for unpleasant or confusing emotions. I plan on using the material to teach self-regulation. It takes time and patience to finish an art project, and because of its calming nature, coloring helps teach children to pace their actions and regulate their minds and body.
