Funded Oct 17, 2024Thank you for supporting Mrs. Tyson's Cool Down Counseling Corner! The resources you donated have made a significant impact on our students' emotional well-being and ability to self-regulate in a welcoming, calming space.
How We're Using the Resources:
The new items are used daily by students who need a break to reset and manage their emotions. One memorable moment was when a student who had been visibly upset entered the space, chose an stress-relief tool from the sensory bin, and shared, "This really helps me calm down." These tools have been instrumental in teaching students to process their feelings constructively.
Student Reactions:
When the corner was unveiled, the students were in awe! One student exclaimed, "This feels like a mini spa for my brain!" Many expressed their excitement and gratitude, and I've even noticed that they've started advocating for one another to use the space when someone is feeling overwhelmed.
Next Steps:
Our focus now is to help students integrate what they learn in the counseling corner into their daily interactions. For example, we're working on sharing self-regulation strategies with students to help them cope both inside and outside of the school. The hope is to create a ripple effect of emotional intelligence throughout the entire school community.
Your generosity has transformed our counseling office into a safe haven for students. Thank you for making a difference in their lives!”
With gratitude,
Ms. TYSON
