Imagine stepping into a school where every face is familiar and every interaction is threaded with empathy and support. That's the reality second-grade teachers Kelly and Amber have created with their PAWS Time initiative, a program that's transforming their school community into an interconnected family. As this episode unfolds, you'll be captivated by their tales of weekly 30-minute sessions where storytelling and activities bridge the gaps between staff and students, nurturing a sense of belonging and mutual respect. It's a move that's not just reshaping the school environment but also creating ripples of excitement in students' homes—something we explore through touching anecdotes and glowing feedback from families.
