The materials have helped my students build positive emotional intelligence. At the beginning of the year, we read Alma and the Worry Stone to calm our worries about the beginning of the new school year and being in a new grade. After reading and discussing the book, students created worry stones to help them through the first weeks of school and beyond.\r\nThe books, We Don't Eat Our Classmates and We Will Rock Our Classmates started great discussions of feelings and how to show empathy towards our classmates. The claw machine and fidgets have allowed me to reward my students for showing positive social emotional intelligence or give students an outlet when they are frustrated, sad, or scared. I will continue the use the Creative SEL book and Super Skills game to teach my students how to be socially/emotionally intelligent throughout the year and work together.\r\nThank you again to our wonderful donors! This project has helped my students tackle social emotional issues that are helping them establish and grow positive relationships and help them make responsible decisions.","fullyFundedDate":1723664379410,"projectUrl":"project/dont-worry-be-happy-we-need-help-regu/8485304/","projectTitle":"Don't Worry, Be Happy!
