Day 168 SEEM Enjoys Field Day

"The SEEM Collaborative has an energetic bunch of preschoolers here at the JT Hood School.  Our three- and four-year old students are also deaf and hard of hearing, so first-hand experiences are essential to developing their language skills.  The JT Hood Field Day gave our kiddos a wonderful opportunity to play alongside the "big kids" and to learn about exercise and teamwork.  They loved learning new games, and the three-legged race was definitely a favorite.  We were so grateful to have the older elementary students and their teachers help our little guys have a wonderful, fun-filled day.  Thank you Hood School!" 

Day 167- Ms. Kinsman Shool Psychologist

Social Media Table Talk Presentation

 

The middle school held a luncheon for all of the School Psychologists and Guidance Counselors to take part in a "table talk" conversation with Shawn Edginton and the "No Bull Guys". It was an excellent experience and so interesting to speak with these two nationally recognized young boys about cyberbullying and how it can be prevented in the schools. The most important part of the conversation was hearing about these young boys' personal stories regarding social media and the struggles that they have had throughout their years in school. It was also interesting to hear how social media has affected schools in a positive light and how it can continue to be used in a positive manner, so long as there are constraints to how it is used both at home and at school. All in all, the table talk conversation was a great way to connect with these presenters and to find out how we, as school personnel, can better support the rally against cyberbullying.
