the homeroom time is too early for some students to start having serious conversations and once they settle down, it time to rush them out the door;  not enough time; too early and when you have disruptions nothing positive happens and they leave with that, carry those feelings all day/half day.

Sadly, kids didn't seem that engaged. Don't think it really achieved its purpose. Perhaps time allotted wasn't best time to implement. Should be an all-day focus.

The fact that this is separate from other learning done during the day for students is not productive to their social, emotional learning. They should be able to feel and see a connection to themselves and how they are developing at all parts of the day.
