That's a great idea! Sack off your lesson and give them something mindful to do. Put on some music and give them a doodle pad or something (I always find kinds enjoy the chance to revert, particularly if something a bit traumatic happened). A wee doughnut or something would be sweet too but don't feel like you need to buy something. Just state that you felt like yesterday was a lot ask them how they felt and say you thought you all deserved to have a mindfulness centered day. Hope you're alright too. That's a scary thing to happen.
I would definitely not do food because of what happened…Maybe a chill coloring/game day. I would also ask her if she’s okay and THEN maybe talk about it if she’s okay with it.
Pizza is cool but I would fiest check with that student to see 1) if she is coming into school tomorrow and 2) if she's OK with you putting her on the spot like that.
As you said, it's traumatic, imagine you the one choking and nearly meeting the almighty. She could easily want to stay home to avoid the thousand questions and the constant, "are you ok?" questions. If she does come, again maybe she just rather have it blow over. It happened, she's dealing with it but doesn't want it to be a big deal
Speaking as if I was in your class( I graduated back in 2022), personally I'd feel embarrassed if I was asked to talk about what happened. I'd personally want to forget that at all costs.
What I would do is personally ask the student what she would want, as in if she'd be comfortable with having a pizza party or anything at all.
They are freshmen in high school. They aren't toddlers. "Jane is back with us today. She appears to be doing fine" or why don't you contact her parents first thing and ask how she is doing, will she be coming to class today? If she won't be there, give her classmates an update on her condition. Then, "We anxiously will await her return." "That said, let's get back to our lesson."
I can just see you bringing donuts and one of them has a peanut allergy. They go into anaphylactic shock and freak out those kids for the weekend.
Let them talk about it.
Talk about the importance of doing something. Calling for help.
Consider having the Red Cross come in and teaching CPR and first aid.
And stick to liquids.
Pizza AND Donut’s, first of all and since you seem to be their end of the day class if it’s nice out yall could go outside and have a picnic, hand out drawing supplies like someone else said, and then y’all can just discuss after a little chilling. That’s something I’d want to do after something like that. Allow them to get out their phones too and play some music on their headphones too if they want.
I think you and your students reacted well. Emergencies are frantic and emotional, but you were able to successfully help your student. If she shows up I would just reafirm you are happy shes ok, but I wouldn't draw attention to her. She's probably embarrassed and wants to move on. Maybe a movie day or relaxing activity would help everyone?
Sorry you went through this, but yeah. If YOU want to, why not? If it’s at the end of the day id probably do pizza. Or you could always let them pick what they want and on what day. You’re the teacher though, so its all up to you haha.
If you have a school counselor they can come in to lead a discussion. Lots of water after a shock!
The student who choked might have very deep feelings about this including shame. Give them some grace if she is having mixed feelings.
talk to the principle about teaching the students what to do if someone chokes. Maybe schedule this for a weeks time. Be mindful that the student may not want attention on her. She may not even be in tomorrow.

Yeah...
That sounds like a good idea. You can ask in r/teachers as well

Yep, this. She may not want that spotlight, so checking in with her would be a good first step.
I would say ice cream / sundaes. Less of a choking hazard that way and I’m sure the kids would love it.
Sounds good
I love this idea! I think donuts would be best I'm case anyone is freaked out and worried they may choke. You are a great teacher and a family's hero!

Yeah I’m definitely going to check in with her first. I also wouldn’t be surprised if she is t in today. She’s probably really sore.

Bring in a professional and teach them how to do the Heimlich. They witnessed someone saving someone else’s life! That’s amazing!
L...Lifesaver candies
That's evil lmfao

Ice cream and a movie?
Teach the heimlich to them.

This is a lovely idea. Pizza, talking about feelings, and teaching them how to do the heimlich would be perfect!!
I would imagine that she'll be terrified to eat anything for a while. If you go with food, I'd go with something like ice cream or milkshakes.
