My Project

The resources that I have chosen will be used to create a welcoming environment when students come to my office. The students that I serve are an energetic and lively group of kids. However, some students are shy and can benefit from playing a game before opening up about their feelings. Other students, express themselves better through art and writing. I would like to create a space where all students feel welcome and heard.

A well-rounded counselor considers the learning styles of all of the students they serve.

By obtaining these resources with a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card, I can serve my students more holistically.
