We explored the SEL Classroom. My students really enjoyed exploring the Sensory Room especially the drawing and bubble wrap sensory activities. Students also listened to the story Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson. Students thought of ways to be kinder to their classmates. They thought of ways they can show kindness, while putting a small rock into a big bowl of water to see the ripples (like in the text). They hope their actions will have a ripple effect on others. We also created glitter calm down bottles. What a great SEL Day!  Jaya Maharajh

We read aloud You Are Enough. We discussed that everyone is different in their own special way. They realized that not matter what you're the best at or what you need more practice with, you'll always be enough by simply being you. Students then drew themselves and did a writing prompt- "My name is ____. I am (adjective). I am enough. The project is now hanging outside of our room :). -Denise Sciarra

We had students lie down and do belly breathing with beanie babies on their tummies. One of my third graders asked, can we do this every day? It was just what I needed.

We started the day with calming music/lights dimmed as students entered the classroom. When asked how this made them feel, almost all the students said they felt relaxed and at ease. We talked about ways to calm our minds and bodies which led into what meditation is. We practiced a 5 minute calming meditation. Upon finishing, I asked for feedback and some of the responses were "I felt like I was levitating", "I felt very relaxed", "I saw flowers blooming as my eyes were closed"! Students even requested we do quick 5 minute meditations to start off our week and/or before any assessments. -Mrs. Patel (Gr 5. EAS)

We explored the break room and dived deeper into the four color zones.   I read a description of the four different zones of regulation and talked about what feelings the students might be feeling at the moment.  Most students were feeling blue - so we listened to what feeling blue is and strategies to cope when feeling blue.    We ended up with a "just dance" to feel more positive.

My class and I had a Compliment Circle. First, we discussed ways to compliment each other. We looked at different compliment sentence starters. Then each child went to the front of the class and was able to call on 5-7 people to hear a compliment. Even the teachers were given compliments. After the activity, we discussed how the compliments made us feel special and happy.
