Students will use this opportunity to make our new Restorative Justice Room their own. With images and messaging that reflect who they are and where they come from. Some of the items will give students with different learning styles and sensory challenges opportunities to stay engaged while they move and stay grounded. We serve many students with learning disabilities and the RJ Room is a place they can call home, get their needs met, and engage in a rich and meaningful education.
Students build community and feel seen and heard in our RJ Room. They need more opportunities to feel loved for who they are and to know that the genius of youth lives within them. We have selected our items intentionally, and my students took part on selecting each and every piece.
RJ Peer Educators and Mentors selected rugs they felt would help students feel comfortable in our new RJ Room. They chose posters with messaging that will help students feel welcomed, like the 'Welcome' poster. They chose images of Black and Latinx icons, who we will be developing educational lessons on and presenting to out students. RJ Peer Educators and Mentors work collaboratively with myself to develop and present lessons that reflect their own experiences. We selected tools such as yoga balls and mini-spheres to help engage students with special needs, as a way to help them stay on task while meeting their sensory needs. They chose the zarape blankets as decoration but also to use for our Dia de los Muertos installation that we will put together in the coming month, and to use to for classroom presentations as center-pieces when we circle up. We chose the parachute for community building activities that help connect us as scholars partners and allow students with differences to engage.
