As a school counselor, I teach scholars how to regulate emotions, respond to stressors, manage stressful situations, and make responsible decisions. In addition, we work in-depth on how to build relationships with others and communicate with others in healthy, polite, and productive ways. I work with whole classrooms on social-emotional skills, and with individual scholars and small groups to help meet specific goals. Building social-emotional skills takes daily practice. The tools provided in this project will help reinforce each of the social-emotional skills we practice daily. With this project, I will receive TeachersPayTeachers gift cards that allow me to purchase resources created by other teachers, social workers, and school counselors, and that are specifically designed to help meet social-emotional goals. With these gift cards, I will purchase two resources: "WholeHearted Storewide Social Emotional Learning Bundle" by WholeHearted School Counseling, which includes 150 SEL resources; and "How Big Is My Problem Check-In Chart," which will help scholars regulate emotions when faced with a problem. Each item in this project was selected to meet the social-emotional needs of one or more scholars I serve. They teach and reinforce specific skills such as perseverance, kindness, patience, anxiety, and confidence. They will also help scholars learn to recognize emotions, connect emotions and feelings with appropriate responses, and role-play social situations.
