Iowa is another state that is trying to ban SEL in classrooms. The senator believes that the bill is necessary because SEL contains Critical Race Theory and does too much to affirm LGBTQ+ identities which is so-called violation of some religious beliefs. Those who are against it are blind to the fact that SEL simply teaches children skills that will benefit them in every aspect of life now at a young age and also when they become adults.

This video was actually very entertaining to see a woman part of, "Moms of Liberty", discusses in her opinion of SEL and the "threat" that it causes. People in the comments and myself are struggling to understand why this mother doesn't want her child to learn empathy and compassion. She makes this absurd argument that SEL is the "Trojan Horse", to allow Queer Theory and Critical Race Theory.

She mentions how in her state, Florida, the governor doesn't want SEL implemented in the classrooms, and she explains how this can impact children in the long run even into their adult life and going into the workforce.

This teacher implemented daily affirmations in her classroom. Reminding her students to speak positively about themselves is so simple yet important, it shows that she also thinks highly of her students and their capabilities in life. Teaching students the power of positive self-talk can help build their confidence and self-esteem.

This teacher started her class right away by asking her students to draw an emoji that describes how the student is feeling! It's such a simple yet effective way to incorporate SEL into a class. She made it fun by allowing the children to draw their own emoji and then discussing the student's feelings afterward.
