“Absolutely loved the daily check in system. Such a great conversation to have with the students about feeling different levels of emotions and it being okay, but that communicating how we're feeling is important. Good reminder for us as teachers to acknowledge the different experiences that each child brings to kura each day. This was the key element used from this box, but will continue to implement the others further. Much appreciated, amazing initiative.”
“The kits were great. I was able to understand the children better in terms of how they are feeling. The kits will continue to be used in the classroom.
Thank you”
“Fantastic kit. It enable many of the kids to let the teacher know discretely how they were feeling and how we could help them out. It was such a worth while exercise. The kids found it valuable aswell.”
“Such an amazing kit! Thank you for allowing my class the opportunity to use this school kit. I unfortunately haven’t started using the kit yet. However over the holidays I have set up the recharge station on my wall and gone through the information on the school kit squad website and the teacher guide. I have planned out using the guides a term overview of lessons and plan to start using and teaching the Dove Self Esteem school kit starting next term.”
“This tied it well with the lessons we wanted to teach in class and I hope to continue to refer to this as our school embarks on our learning journey of Pause, Breathe, Smile.”
“Really loved parts of this kit. We use the check in box with tokens twice a day (after breaks), we have reviewed all of the strategies and they are displayed in our classroom, along with the spot to stand on, but I don't know how much the students actually use this on a daily basis. At least its there for them to refer to, along with other displays that I have made around this. I would repeat some of this kit again. Thanks for the great resources.”
