FHF was thrilled to support this amazing community night at Agnor Hurt on 3/23/23 by funding purchase of materials for take home activities/calming kits. They had a total of 115 participants,13 volunteers, 2 interpreters, plus 7 ACPS folks.
Kimberly Rambow and team did an amazing job prepping these materials that included the following stations:
-Identifying feelings—students will have laminated mats to use dry erase markers to identify where feelings live in their bodies on one side with a blank face to create feeling expression with playdough.
-Zones of Regulation—there will be a zones sorting activity and families will create feeling thermometers to take home.
-Mindfulness/Breathing—families will practice breathing with the aid of breathing boards and decorate a couple to take home. They will also practice breathing with a pinwheel they build and with bubbles they can keep.
-Sensory—families will have the opportunity to make stress balls, explore sensory bins, practice using playdough and theraputty with a laminated mat they can keep, and take home bubble wrap and crayons to use for coloring mandalas.
-Mindful movement—families will receive a mindful movement board with dice for creating brain breaks along with a set of yoga pose cards.
-Nature-based play==families will have the opportunity to explore creating a zen garden and take home materials to create their own.
We hope to see this type of event replicated across the county as we all know, social emotional health is such an important component to learning!
