My Project

"Social Emotional Learning" - NOT a term I remember hearing about in 1998, when I had just begun my teaching career. Things change. Times change. We must change with them. Although I have been successful this year in helping to guide our class to become part of a "team" and to learn to give empathy. I need resources to enhance this environment.

The items on my wish list are tools and resources to help promote positive learning and self-awareness in students.

The amount of time the students have been away from school, due to COVID has really ignited a whole new emotion.

Help me, help them.
