Our school represents a large variety of students from various countries all over the world. One hundred percent of the students at my school receive free or reduced-price lunch, and the school receives Title I funds.
Want to know one of my favorite parts of my job?
I love seeing the change that students undergo over the course of the year. I am fortunate enough to see kids develop ways to express kindness each and every day. They use manners that weren't present in August. I have seen students who loathe reading turn into book lovers. Few things make me smile like seeing my kids pull out a book when they have an extra few minutes. My classroom is full of faces and personalities that will impact our future world. As a teacher, I believe it is my job to do everything I can to make sure that impact will be a positive impact!
My Project
I am asking these materials that will help me connect with my students in different ways to guide students to the correct outcome after a meltdown or episode. These materials will help me build my students' awareness of their social-emotional development. The first items are books. These will help me teach about specific emotions and how to handle different situations through pictures and examples. Lastly, the Sensory tools that will guide the students to calm quickly and safely so that we can continue learning. All of these tools will help develop a positive outcome that I am seeking within the classroom.
Hope & Wade King said, "In the game of life, children have no control over the hand they are dealt."
I already implement character development by using character traits and reinforcing those traits within my classroom expectations. However, these extra-sensory tools will take my character trait/social-emotional education to the next level. Please help me change my students' hand in life.
