Understanding ACEs by Joe Shirvinski https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh Jot down your thoughts on ACEs and share anything that you can relate to what you have read. en-us 2017-03-04 17:25:00 UTC 2024-07-24 11:50:34 UTC hello@padlet.com Jen Kapp https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/157798179 I have found that really listening to my students and helping them to understand and name their emotions allows us to work through their problem to find a solution, together. When they aren't sure how to handle their feelings or the stressful situation they find themselves in, it can be a very lonely place. Knowing they have safe adults they can talk to at school gives them several people who are "on their side."]]> 2017-03-04 19:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/157798179 Valerie Kell https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/157867642 I find that our students come to school dealing with a lot of stress in their life. This article was a reminder of the affect they can have on children. It also reminded me how important it is to continue to make my classroom a safe and comforting place for my students. ]]> 2017-03-05 18:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/157867642 Kirsten-Learning the impact ACES has on children not only short term, but long term, is eye opening. This is something they will feel the impact of for years to come. Knowing that I can help foster an environment of safety and security while with me at school is powerful, and is promoted daily. https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/158189164 2017-03-06 21:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/158189164 MaryEllen- I think we have always known the children here come with a lot of baggage, and this article certainly brought it into perspective. We have to continue to be the safe place for these kids, it is the best part of the day for some kids. Just letting them know we care and are looking out for them is huge. https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/158315674 2017-03-07 13:14:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/158315674 Geraldine Johnson https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/158460933 I attended a workshop about ACE and this stuck in my head: Instead of asking "What is wrong with this child?", ask "What happened to this child?" ]]> 2017-03-07 18:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/158460933 dlenox https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/159142945 2017-03-09 21:53:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/159142945 dlenox https://padlet.com/jshirvinski/em7qv9m0q5qh/wish/159143336 Debbie - It was educational for me to read that the stress from these situations affects a child’s ability to fight infection.  Perhaps that is why some of my students are frequently absent.
