SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING ROCKS

Help me give my students a beautiful social emotional area where they can learn appropriate coping skills to get through this difficult time. These sessions teach them how to cope with social-emotional issues and help keep them safe.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are some of the most resilient special smartest people I know. They are always willing to try their best work, show their kindness to others and put a smile on my face everyday. I want them to always smile and continue to aspire to whatever is they would love to dream of.

My Project

For our new school year I want to focus on more social-emotional games /books .Games and books are a great way to engage students and help them integrate learned skills into their everyday lives.

I also requested an area rug/ comfy chair for the students to have a place to sit/meditate/ relax and enjoy social emotional learning.

I want students to have a place to safe and loved at school. My students really love to go to school and enjoy being with their friends. Now more then ever my students need the social emotional learning to be successful!!

With gratitude,

Mr. Nocera
