The new resources have become integral components of our daily practice, significantly enriching both student engagement and emotional awareness.\r\n\r\nEach day, our students enthusiastically engage with Pop-It sensory tools placed at their desks, allowing them a discreet and supportive outlet to manage stress and maintain focus throughout lessons. Additionally, we've incorporated journaling as a meaningful warm-up activity at the start of each class. This practice empowers students to articulate their thoughts, reflect on their emotions, and set intentions for productive learning.\r\n\r\nA particularly impactful moment occurred when we first introduced the emotion wheel during a classroom discussion centered around our SEL journal prompt. Students reacted with genuine curiosity and enthusiasm, eager to articulate and share their emotional experiences with greater clarity. Witnessing them openly communicate, build empathy, and deepen their self-awareness was profoundly rewarding.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, our next steps involve utilizing insights from our SEL-focused textbooks to further refine our classroom discussions and instructional strategies. We aim to initiate student-driven projects that promote emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills, preparing them not only for academic success but also for meaningful interactions beyond our classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support has directly empowered our students, fostering an emotionally intelligent, inclusive learning environment. We are deeply grateful for your investment in their holistic development.","fullyFundedDate":1739282333466,"projectUrl":"project/daily-social-emotional-learning-in-the/9034451/","projectTitle":"Daily Social Emotional Learning in the Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Scannell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9774291_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727098038027","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9774291"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_66184","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":127,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":68,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":36.8,"schoolId":66184,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Alonzo Moody Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Alonzo Moody Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/paterson-public-schools/great-falls-academy/66184"}
