My Project

My students are bright, outgoing, curious and expressive. As a school counselor, it is important to create an environment where students feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings and emotions. Having tools and resources to assist in their social-emotional development and giving them the opportunity to have fun and engaging activities is very important. With these tools, students will have the opportunity to express themselves individually through play and learn to work and express themselves with their peers. The games, books, and toys allow for positive interactions among students.
