Hello everyone,

I wanted to highlight some of the great things teachers are doing to promote SEL in their classrooms. Thank you teachers for taking the SEL lessons and positive behavior initiatives and making them special to you and your students. It really starts with teaching the heart. Feel free to post and share what better way than to learn from one another. I will come around to see what amazing things you are doing and snap some pictures as well.

Thank you,

Ms. H

Students learned the difference between "filling someone's bucket" with kindness or "Bucket dipping" when using hurtful words or doing hurtful things to their classmates.

What a great way to promote kindness with class incentives and goals.

We have had a "Behavior Beans" jar all year! Students start each day with 5 beans, and their goal is to keep them all. Students who are off task or are misbehaving lose a bean. All the beans they have left at the end of the day get added to the class jar and once it's full, we have a small celebration! They get bonus beans for good notes from substitutes or compliments by a teacher in the hallway. We've had a donut party and an ice cream sundae party so far this year. The kids had fun filling it up, and the beans were a visual reminder of their behavior throughout the day.

Students in 2-2 are learning that the most important person to be kind to is themself. They are standing in front of a mirror and sharing a kind statement to themself. Students are also learning that their classroom community is a kind and safe place to be.
