My Project

It is important to realize that students need to be shown and taught warmth, love, and caring. This can be done through the use of objects and mini lessons.

The bears and squishies will be used to assist students in understanding what it means to show that they love, care for, and respect each other.

Students will participate in lessons that show how they can assist each other in being kind and respectful to each other.

The bears and squishies will be used as a stress relief item to show that there are other ways to decompress and feel at peace.
