My Students
I am a school social worker for an elementary school. My students range from Pre-k to 5th grade. I have the opportunity to work with students on short-term and long-term basis. Short-term supports are available to all students that might need a break when feeling stressed, frustrated, angry or sad especially after returning to in person learning.
I utilize verbal and tactile techniques to support students that require emergency emotional assistance.
All students meet success in different ways and creative tools promote success.
My Project
Returning to in-person learning has been a challenge for students. The materials in this project will be used for students that need a break outside of the classroom. The pandemic has required me to come up with new ideas about supporting students in a safe manner. Students will be given their own personal bin to store items that can reduce stress, anger, frustration, and sadness. Students love to use draw and paint as a method of addressing their emotions. Some students prefer to make things whether it's a craft or building with LEGO.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
