Students will learn strategies for calming down when upset.
A narrow plastic container (an empty Voss water bottle works well, or something similar) Glitter Clear glue (can sub glycerin, karo syrup, or clear soap) A few drops of dish soap Optional (food coloring to match the glitter)
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
40 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
