My Project

We put an emphasis on social-emotional learning in our ELA classroom, and I teach students mindfulness activities. The supplies that I've requested will help immensely for SEL activities, including but not limited to: art supplies for poster projects, pens for mindfulness journaling, and more.

Having these supplies handy will make a huge difference in the quality of their group and individual SEL projects.

My goal for the SEL projects throughout the year is to get students to realize that although the content they're learning is important, their mental health comes first.

Our school is in the heart of NYC (lower Manhattan), so what makes my students so unique is that they come from all different backgrounds. Completing group SEL projects help students realize that we are more similar than we may seem.
