My Project

As a school counselor I work to help students struggling in middle school with their social skills. We meet as a group and learn about being a good friend, interacting well with others, how to deal with bullying, how to report problems, managing our emotions... With this project we will be working on social skills through the opportunity to make slime as they learn how to better interact, follow directions and self soothe when upset. This is fun, relaxing, interactive and a good way to enjoy learning some new skills together. All the ingredients we will need are in the order (baking soda, glue, shaving cream, contact solution, dye). We will also have a snack as we work together
