This past week the 7th graders decorated stuffed animals for ill children as part of the "Do Good Doggies" program. This program is a culmination of their unit in Advisory 

"When Life Gives You Lemons,"  which focuses upon the ability to cope with adversity in life. In their Advisory lessons students learn about resiliency and how to bounce back from disappointment in life. They learn other coping skills such as positive self-talk. They are trained in combating negative thinking, stress management, affirmations and self-esteem boosts.  All these lessons culminate in the children decorating stuffed animals with positive thoughts for ill children in the hospital. Before beginning the decorating, they were trained by Mrs. Shifra Srolovitz, a Child Life Specialist from NYU hospital. After  she gave them a sense of what the children in the hospital are going through, she also explained  the "do's and don'ts" of encouraging ill children.  The stuffed animals will be delivered by some of our students to the children in the hospital.
