This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Welcome to school counseling! I am the school counselor of a Title I school where 91% of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Many of our families are single-parent and low –income.
My students make up a diverse school community.
They love the school and they love coming to large group counseling. I love serving them as well. My students are confronted with so many challenges and as their school counselor, I endeavor to find resources to help them succeed no matter what situation the individual is faced with.
My Project
My students need supplies to help support their coping skills throughout everyday life. They need anger management games and a thumball.
We live in a world where anger is not managed appropriately.
Instead of stopping and thinking, people react too quickly and make wrong choices much of the time. I strive to always take a proactive approach so that the outcome is less harmful for all students. I need anger management games and a thumball to use in a small group setting with students that need coping support; therefore, when they get to the middle school, they are more equipped to handle and diffuse different types of situations that may occur. These resources will be used faithfully as my students are my daily priority.
These resources will help me tremendously. Please help me give my students resources to help them stop and think before they pop.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
