"There's a general sense of anxiety and fear and unknown so I thought, my whole classroom has visuals and we listen to the same kind of calming music every day so why not give them the opportunity to use that stuff at home in a way that maybe they can access even from just a phone," Nieberding said.
She compiled resources she found online and some she uses into her curriculum into one space.
