My Project

Much like adults, students, use technology to socialize and communicate. This can include our phones and computers but for students it’s typically phones and videos games. I am requesting Nintendo Switch, Splatoon 3, Deck One Conversation Cards, Feelings Wheel Chart Poster and more. Unfortunately we can’t play all the games students are allowed to play at home while at school, but with your help we can learn to socialize appropriately while having fun with peers. Students can then use these skills to make and maintain healthy friendships.

With your support my students can learn to cope with a variety of social and emotional learning challenges such as, responsible decision making, self-management, self-awareness, social-awareness, and relationship skills.
