Increasing student joy and teaching social-emotional learning in a way that is accessible and fun for students is very important. My students experience a variety of trauma and difficult situations that they are learning to process when they come to school. Accommodating for them, helping them feel safe and cared for, and teaching them how to manage their emotions, deal with conflict, advocate for themselves, etc. can be a challenging task as this must be a school-wide effort. All the materials here will be used to help me provide our students with the curriculum and tools they need to meet their SEL goals as well as serve as large rewards (such as a hoverboard and microphone) to motivate students to attend school and be engaged! Also a shelf that will help me make materials accessible and organized in my office. I appreciate all your help!
