I am so lucky to be working with such a special population of kids! Our school is part of a large urban district, yet the school feels like it is set in cozy community!
I am the school psychologist at the school and my number one goal is to have resources available to all students so they can succeed. I believe that if a students social emotional skills aren’t developed, then students will not reach their full potential. This project will support students by teaching and fostering social emotional learning by giving them resources to utilize when they are feeling down. The items in my cart make up a variety of social emotional tools and strategies. Noise canceling headphones help students when they feel overwhelmed by loud noises, which is common in children that have experienced trauma. Social emotional books provide a fun story while also teaching different skills the students can utilize in their own life. Fidgets and different tools are used as resources to help students find something that helps calm them down when they are upset so they can return to learning quicker. Flexible seating provides students with hyperactive behaviors to move their bodies while doing their schoolwork and ensures a less disruptive learning environment. Sensory toys are used when students are comforted by certain sensory feelings, like a fluffy stuffed animal. The goal of this diverse item cart is to make sure our school has tools and strategies for every student that needs them.
Funding our project will support approximately 380 students in all of TE. 75% of the students attending the school qualify for Free and Reduced lunch. English Language Learners represent 29.4% of the school population, while 10.5% of the school population are qualified Special Education students.
