Making a Difference, One Person at a Time
October 29th - November 3rd
This year Warner Elementary has put an added focus on supporting the WHOLE Child. As a staff at Warner we see many of our students needing support with social, emotional and academic needs. With that as the need our staff made the collective effort to increase social and emotional support with a few key pieces.
First, we welcomed Mr. Darren Taylor into the fold. Mr. Taylor, along with Mrs. Colleen Comden-White and Mr. Jeff Kinney support students each day with a variety of supports that include supporting friendships and dealing with trauma.
Second, we have adopted and implemented, Move This World. This brief, but powerful and repetitious tool has teachers sharing videos and conversation starters at the beginning and end of each day. Move This World is truly designed to help students manage their emotions and find alternative ways to solving problems.
Third, we have welcomed in Mrs. Erin Kreger. Here is some vital information on Erin.
Mrs. Kreger is a speech therapist with the Jackson County ISD. Recently Erin completed certification as a Mindfulness Educator through the Mindful Schools Organization. Erin visits classrooms every other week supporting students and teachers. Mindfulness is a set of techniques that helps increase focus and attention, decrease stress and anxiety, improve impulse control and increase compassion and empathy. The techniques Erin will utilize are incredibly simple and proven to enhance learning.
I encourage you to ask your child about Mindfulness, and remind them to use the techniques at home. Erin is open and willing to answer any and all questions people may have. She can be emailed at Erin.Kreger@jcisd.org.
We are thrilled to offer additional layers of support in these ever changing times. Through repetition, communication and an openness to learn we believe all students will be supported.
