My Project

Mental health is very important for everyone's well-being, especially our children who haven't learned coping skills to deal with their mental health. Our students come from all socioeconomic backgrounds, but primarily low-income families. Due to Covid 19 and the impacts from our students staying home, our students lack the coping skills needed to help them overcome every day life situations; this impacts their academic learning within the classroom.

With these tools listed below, the students will be able to use the social emotional coping strategies they learned to navigate life's challenges, and become successful young men and women in our society.

The variety of seating arrangements allow for preferential seating. The Social Emotional books will be reading material for them to explore how they are feeling and what to do to help them. The stickers and light will be posted on the wall to reflect positive vibes within the classroom. The carpet will allow students to do their work in an every day environment like their own homes.
