Emotions are our JAM!! #SocialEmotionalLearning #misdproud

Matti and I spent the morning making ‘fidget rings’ that students can put on their lanyards. Since we can’t do fidget baskets, this was an inexpensive way to make individual ones. So ready for kids to be back on Tuesday 🤩 #readyforfacetoface #fidgetrings

Many teachers report that they are repeatedly told how important they are and how they should prioritize their well-being, and then asked to do the exact opposite. kqed.org/mindshift/5754…
