This tip was contributed by Lisa Burciaga Segura, NM: NE Regional Education Coop. (Rec 4).

Another educator who chose to remain nameless suggested that teachers could use pieces of swim noodles  as a buffer for tapping pencils and pens. Tap on the swim noodle! Other options are tapping on pieces of soft sponge or mouse pads.

When I mentioned the calming effect of coloring mandalas, one teacher shared www.papersnowflakes.com. This website has access to mandala style snow flakes and many other cool links.

Thanks once again for all your hospitality and all the positive feedback I received after the seminar. I had a great time and I hope you not only learned a lot to help your students and teachers, but that  you had a great time, too!
