They are also able to learn about what it means to belong and overcome challenges. We are taking the time to explore and develop social-emotional language to better communicate how we are feeling and learning coping strategies to manage stress. Additionally, the supplies have helped transform my room into a safe space for all students to come. It is bright and offers a calming environment for those who need a place to reset or regulate following stressful events.\r\n\r\nAgain, thank you so much for your support.
