Help me give my students the tools and games they need to learn appropriate social skills, coping mechanisms, and emotional regulation. Help me give my teachers tools and knowledge on how to BEST support our students.
I'm an elementary school counselor, I work with students K-5! They are lovely and passionate about so many things. I spend my time with students in the classroom on problem-solving and developing character traits such as empathy, gratitude, integrity, and citizenship to name a few. In my small groups, I focus on grief support, self-esteem, friendship skills, and anger management. I also help students individually with self-regulation, de-escalation, and healthy thought processes.
Counselors don't always get funding or resources to adequately help our students.
I am always on the search for innovative ways to engage students in their social-emotional learning.
My Project
As an elementary school counselor, so often, I have students who need help learning how to be better humans. We work on social skills, managing emotions, and learning coping skills together. At a young age, this involves a lot of playing for my students. We do our work through games, reading stories, and practicing together.
With this project, I hope to add to my collection of social-emotional games, books, and resources for my students and teachers.
I am in the middle of my second year, and so I'm still in the building years of putting together a full program at my school. Every day I am strengthening relationships with my students, their parents, and their teachers. Everyone needs support, this is my way of trying to provide that for them!
