How Can We Be Well?

Funded Feb 18, 2017

We are very grateful for your support of our upcoming PBL. Opening our several boxes that arrived in the mail was a highlight of last week. Students were so excited to see what was going to be in each box, and have already started taking advantage of the sensory room materials for brain breaks! We are creating our sensory room in the commons space just outside our classroom so that all students on the third floor can easily access the space.

As we unpacked all of the books you bought us, our minds were whirling about the valuable conversations each would provoke between our students during our PBL. We have several books about emotional intelligence, several that teach kids new healthy recipes and books that introduce them to new, active games that can be played indoors or outdoors. Our final weeks of planning for this unit will be enriched now that we have these materials available to explore and dream about using within our curriculum.

The topic of wellness is going to have a great impact on these children. We are grateful for your support, as it allows us to introduce this idea to our students in an interactive way. Whenever kids are able to do and experience things for themselves it is much more memorable. This is definitely a topic that we want them to ponder for the rest of their lives. Thank you for your help!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Moore and Deibel
