Each day my students come in to learn a new social skill and learn about above the line behavior. These social skills range from making eye contact to dealing with failure. I teach these social skills through lessons and activities. With these supplies I will be able to build their journal kits. This is where they will be able to record their feelings each time they come. I will also be able to create the games and activities where they put into use, the skills that they have learned. Each week they have the chance to use these skill at home and at school and return with a LEAF to get a prize. I will also use these supplies to replenish my reward box with treats and fidget toys. The rocking chairs are to replace two that I currently have that are falling apart. The kids love to come in and sit in them while we learn. They are able to move and for a lot of these kids it helps them better focus on what is being discussed. I feel lucky to be able to teach these kids, I have the best students.
