My Project

As students move into the next part of the school year, we are conditioning them to use various practices, methods, and activities to work with their Social Emotional Learning.

This project will ensure that our students can participate in SEL small group activities.

These projects vary from moving using double dutch, to creating masks, to creating vision boards for the new year.

Using these activities to move, make and create self-esteem. The anxiety, worry, and stress of issues and concerns may not go away, but students will be able to manage them better. We know our students are amazing individuals and we want them to embody all of the strength and power to handle daily events and the classroom environment.
