Keep Calm and Counsel On: Guidance Towards Emotional Wellness
Help me give my students books such as "A Little SPOT of Emotion Box Set" and "CBT Workbook for Kids" to help them develop the social emotional skills they need to manage their feelings during this unpredictable time.
Our PreK-8th school is situated in northern Vermont, where our students come from vastly different backgrounds and life experiences. Differences aside, our students have one thing in common: they love to learn, explore, and play! Their curiosity never ceases to amaze me.
With distinct life experiences comes different needs, and our students deserve nothing short of a full toolbox to help them reach their full potential.
When returning to school in the fall, differentiating for the needs of the individual child will be incredibly important. Each family has had a unique venture throughout distance learning and COVID-19, and I plan on meeting each child where they are (wherever that may be!) as they shift back into school.
My Project
These books will act as resources for students who are coming back to school during this uncertain time. The focus of these books include learning about basic feelings, teaching techniques for calming down, dealing with worry and anxiety, navigating the logistics of school during COVID-19, and so much more.
Going back to school during a pandemic means that social emotional learning will be more crucial than ever before.
Students will be coming back this fall after being away from school for almost five months, many encountering a great deal of stress, hardship, and/or inconsistency during this time. Extra attention will be paid to supporting their emotional well-being as well as filling their toolboxes with strategies they can use to work towards self-regulation.
Although I cannot take away the uncertainty and instability that has come with COVID-19, the one thing I can make my students feel certain about is how much I care about their well-being and that I will do everything I can to make them feel safe and loved while they are at school.
