Healthy Minds Grant! by Aveni Ghosh https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa Beautiful staff of MES, the support team needs your amazing ideas on how best to use our Healthy Minds Grant funding for our school community to support our students' mental health needs! Think about what you could use in your classroom (ie calm kits, items for your own calming spaces), what you'd like to see in the common spaces in our building, etc, etc! We hope to get things in place for the following school year. Thank you for your valuable insight! en-us 2023-04-11 16:37:50 UTC 2023-04-20 13:14:06 UTC hello@padlet.com Outdoor read-aloud or study space (with shade and seating). https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550485358 2023-04-11 17:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550485358 https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550494343 Outside tables to have a one on one lunch talk with students that need more attention.]]> 2023-04-11 17:22:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550494343 Sunshades on the courtyard and/or playgrounds! https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550501719 2023-04-11 17:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550501719 Classroom Calm Down Kits https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550531793 With visual timer, visual sensory bottle, a put-in task, a fidget (NOT noise-making), open to other ideas!]]> 2023-04-11 17:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550531793 playground equipment https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550533264 2023-04-11 17:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550533264 https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550551627 I like the idea of classroom calm down kits that someone else already suggested, but also many kids love time to simply draw, so perhaps we can purchase assorted colored pencils, markers, drawing pads, and the pads with pre-printed designs, too!]]> 2023-04-11 18:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/aghosh7/z72jik5a52vaksfa/wish/2550551627 It would be nice to create a sensory support calming room.
