Since September the kids have learned and practiced one new calming strategy a week. They have enjoyed this so much and have repeatedly been able to use these skills while in the calming space and throughout their day. As you know, we often talk to the kids about their "engine". We talk about having an engine that is too high or too low. We always work on having our engines "just right".
Craft day is upon us and it is a chaotic but fun day. It is often hard for kids to keep their engines "just right" on this day. Last year I began running a "Gas Station" for students who needed to "check their engines" and get them "just right". This year the ideas for the Gas Station have been expanded upon with the calming strategies the kids have learned.
They worked very hard to develop the Commercial below. They brainstormed, planned, implemented and then presented it all at All Pod this past Friday. Carol took time to explain "engines" and related concepts to the whole level and then our students expanded on it and presented their video.
What a wonderful job they did! I am so proud of them!!
