I facilitate social-emotional learning skills groups. The groups focus on skills such as problem solving, zones of regulation, being a quality friend, social skills, emotional regulation, role playing, and much more! Students will learn important skills and have the ability to practice these new skills with their peers in a small group setting. 

The Friendship Foundation is a socially enriching program that fosters acceptance and inclusion for all students. By becoming a Friendship Club member at Mesquite Elementary, students learn to build awareness and create opportunities in which friendships can grow in a safe and accepting environment. At each club meeting, students will engage with peers before school for 30 minutes of structured fun and peer interaction while continuing to learn to make and maintain friendships.  Activities may range from ice breakers to learning leadership skills. Ms. Kelli and Ms. Karina lead this program!
