Board Games and Coloring

Sometimes students find themselves needing to talk with an adult about something going on in class, with a friend, or at home with a sibling. There are also times when that student may not feeling brave enough to come speak with me on their own so they bring a friend. A friend/student group is formed this way. I allow for these students to play games or color with me in order to break the tension of speaking to an adult. Having students feel comfortable and welcome is very important to helping them find solutions to any issue they might have and to express themselves in work that they can be proud of.
