Feelings Check-in! During Morning Meeting this year, counseling work focused on emotion identification, regulation, and social skills. Using this feelings scan visual, students built skills to identify and sort "comfortable" and "uncomfortable" feelings, identify feelings in themselves, and recognize feelings in others. Using the sentence starter "I feel_____ because_____" students were able to describe their emotions and associate reasons. Emotional identification supports students' self-advocacy, awareness of regulation needs, and breeds coping skills. Families can use this visual to support self-expression and conversations at home!
Out and about in our local neighborhood!
This past semester in Civic Debates, students from Caesars Bay, Rockaway Bay, and Pelham Bay visited the High Line, the FIT museum, and the new Hudson Yards Mall. Many of these students from each cohort participated in community learning by seeing the final project exhibits of students from FIT, taking in the enjoyable views of the High Line, and the murals on each level of the Hudson Yards mall (HY x OffTheWall https://www.hudsonyardsnewyork.com/stories/hy-x-offthewall). Students had discussions with their peers about what they liked and what message the cultural arts and murals were trying to convey. Enjoy the following pictures of students at each of these sites! Have a great summer! -Devin Power Let's Get Social!
