Funded Jan 17, 2024The materials you have kindly donated are being used in two different ways. First, the snacks are a great way to keep our students motivated. Our students that are apart of the Panther Club have been working hard on improving their classroom expectations to enjoy a quick break with a snack at the end of the week. Second, the fidget toys and the coloring books have made a huge impact when having restorative conversations. Students are using the fidgets to stay focused during the conversation and using especially the squishy balls to help regulate emotions as well.
The students were excited to see the new tools that were provided to help cope through conversations. They have been very thankful, not only students but staff members as well. My next steps are to continue sharing positive coping skills and encourage students through positive reinforcement. My next goal is to continue building a space for my students to feel comfortable and an environment where they want to resolve conflict and grow.”
With gratitude,
