Our Sensory Room
Binkley Families,
As we conclude the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr., I want share more about a special space that we are creating for students. Kids call it "Ms. Lily's Pod", as our Student Advocate works out of this space. I refer to it as a Sensory Room, as we are working to create a room that allows students comfort, respite from the busy day, and a recharge to do our best back in the classroom. Here is what our students say about this space:
"I love Ms. Lily's room because it helps me relax and her room is very comforting."
"I like to go to Ms. Lily because it's a good place to cool down, get some energy, and Ms. Lily."
"I like Ms. Lily's pod because it's relaxing and chills me out."
"I come to the Lily Pod because sometimes I need to express my feelings to someone or if I need to calm down and take a breath outside the classroom."
The donations are coming in and our room is looking good. Students have already used the crash pad, and we are ready to use the cocoon swing. However, we have more items needed to make this room great for ALL students - CLICK the LINK BELOW for the Wish List.
BE Safe. BE Responsible. BE Respectful. BE BINKLEY!
Warmly,
Harmony Harvell, Principal
YouthTruth Survey -- FAMILY RESPONSES NEEDED
We want to hear from our families about Binkley. Takes about 15 minutes and so important for our work. Deadline: Friday, January 27th.
Wishing a Happy Chinese New Year
To those who celebrate, welcome to the Year of the Rabbit. The rabbit is the symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese Culture, thus 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope. The Rabbit of 2023 falls under the wood element, with water as the complementary element. Since water helps wood (trees) to grow, 2023 will be a strong wood year.
