I call it After Camp - Camp because we start at 4pm, after most kids have gotten out of day camps and before many parents are off work. The idea is to create another layer of safety for neighborhood children.
We got busy getting acquainted with one another this week. We got used to writing our names on colorful stickers, so we all can call each other by name. But, next week those stickers will serve a dual purpose. Kids will select a color that corresponds to the way they feel. Each color will represent an emotion. We will start learning how to identify our emotions and begin learning how to manage each one. This is a main component for children to grasp as we start gun safety awareness classes on Friday.
