My Project

Using books, art and social games will increase my students social and emotional well being.

My goal is to increase students emotional independence and students will learn techniques to building coping skills, so they can utilize outside the session with the assistance of the counseling sessions and games, art and books requested,

The selected games, art and activities will assist in engaging in peer to peer interactions and learning ways to utilized them independently.

What makes my students special is they are all able to utilize the skills learned and activities presented outside the counseling session.
