Not all buckets can be filled by pouring into them. Some buckets need a slow drip. Have some patience and fill those buckets as well. Consistent drips can go a long way.
Tonight was a rough one. Y’all they really be trying to get me! 😭 Residential life is where I was introduced to being Trauma Informed. And let me tell you, everyday there is a new lesson to learn. However, no matter the lesson, building healthy relationships is always key.
As I was making my rounds today, I was taken back by the beautiful creative way some of my students choose to wear their natural hair. I wanted to share that beauty and creativeness with y’all. Natural Hair Don’t Care! 🥰 Natural State of Mind! 🥰
Here at East school I believe in teaching real life lessons. Regardless of age there are lessons to be learned by all. Today’s lesson was EVERYONE PAYS TAXES! I also believe in giving choices. Choices were offer your tax or be taxed. Let’s just say students were very generous.😂
Finally had the opportunity to meet with my boys again. We were able to narrow our triggers to a top five list. From there we identified if the trigger was a Social trigger or an Academic trigger, peer driven or teacher/adult driven. Next week we share examples and situations!
Last group before break and it was best one yet. Focus on Multiple Directions what Teachers want/expect and what Students sometimes need/require to comply. Provide a healthy platform/environment and students will take it from there.
When teachers say “they only act right for you because they are scared of you” nah, I think what you meant to say was “they only act right for you because they respect you”
This 5th grade group I work with is something special. Today we discussed in what ways (Breaks from School) could be triggering. Initial response: MR. Nate “it’s a break from school” However, once it sunk in this is what they came up with. After break we’ll review how we managed
