When we arrived at the school today for the teacher training, many of the teachers had just been told 2 hours before of the meeting. I knew we had some work ahead of us!!
We gave a brief review of how our coping channel is just like our favorite radio station. When events and stress happen, things get all static and we hit the scan button looking for a clear channel.
So it is with coping, our core channel gets lost sometimes in all the emotional and physical stress of an event. Gradually we began to see teachers let down a bit, nod their heads and become engaged in what resiliency is.
Then the FUN began. As the teachers squirted the paint, some started laughing, some sighing and few said “I am so glad we can play!”
Discussions about the uses of this exercise in the classroom were well received with many teachers hoping to have their students begin the project, some even tomorrow. An invitation was given for them to join us at the teacher training in June.
As they rushed out the door, many smiles and Thank You’s was a reminder of what a resilient people God has made us all to be.
AAAHHHH another great day in the Bay.
