Building Skills in Social Emotional Learning

Help me give my students the necessary resources to engage in Social Emotional Learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. White's classroom raised $769

My Project

I am excited to share my project focused on supporting the social-emotional learning (SEL) needs of my students that receive special education services. Each of my students brings unique strengths and perspectives to the classroom, and I am passionate about creating an environment where they can thrive socially and emotionally.

Each resource in this project will significantly enhance my students’ learning.

Emotional regulation activities will help them manage their feelings, while SEL learning journals provide a space for reflection and self-expression. Mental health books will foster understanding of emotions, and coping strategies will empower them to handle stress and anxiety effectively. Additionally, resources on anger management and conflict resolution will promote constructive approaches to disagreements, creating a positive classroom environment. Finally, social skills games will encourage peer interaction, allowing students to practice their social skills in a fun and engaging way.

My primary goal is have comprehensive SEL activities that caters specifically to the needs of my students. I aim to enhance their emotional awareness, build resilience, and improve their social skills, ultimately helping them become more confident and capable individuals. By integrating these resources into our sessions, I hope to foster an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and understood.

What sets my students apart is their unique ways of viewing the world and their deep emotional insights. They have incredible potential, and with the right support, they can develop the skills necessary to navigate their social environments successfully. By investing in their SEL journey, we are not only addressing immediate needs but also setting the foundation for lifelong emotional health and social competence.
