Funded Sep 26, 2021Thank you so much for your generous donations to this project. My students were thrilled to help unpack and decide how to use these wonderful materials! In the photos, you can see students using the colorful trays, animal figurines, and imitation snow. These moments were incredibly powerful experiences where students were able to role-play problem solving skills, practice sharing their feelings, and develop new friendships through play.
These materials also helped me and our school social worker build and organize our Social-Emotional Learning library. These books have driven countless conversations about the importance and value of cultural diversity in our school. They have also been a resources for teachers who need materials to support a SEL lesson.
So far this year, we have had about 100 students access these materials during counseling sessions, group sessions, individual social-emotional check ins, and for Fun Friday play time. It has been so wonderful to see my students enjoy these materials, and I know they will enjoy them for years to come.”
