Remember that academics cannot happen until our students' (and our) basic emotional needs are met. Take time for routines, community, and joy! Scan the QR code to see our SEL modules for K-5 for inspirations, lessons, books, and activities! #AlbuquerqueTeachers @ABQschools

If you are wondering how to support behavior in your classroom, here's a great video from our Early Career Teacher Summit that we held last summer with some great information! @ABQschools youtu.be/M-s1uDzRmXE

Its December and we all know what that means: the holiday itch is here. We might see an uptick in behaviors and students who seem less attentive than normal. Just remember that willingness to reteach, rehearse, and reinforce expected behaviors can save your sanity! @ABQschools

Today is a great day to share some favorite books from childhood. Here's mine: Heckedy Peg. It's a book about a witch who turns 7 siblings into her dinner, but they are saved just in time by their quick witted mother. What is your favorite book from childhood?

It is incredibly important to remember that SEL is multi-faceted. Understanding emotions is only one small part of what true SEL brings to the classroom. Visit CASEL.org or send an email to your @ABQschools BSS team to learn more!

@IESRockets @Caine11560017 @ABQschools @APSLZ4 @chris_zone4 Love this!

Positive Vibes! 5th Grade students in @Caine11560017 class created a positive vibe board. Students can take a positive vibe sticky and either give it to someone else a school or keep it for themselves for a little self affirmation! #SEL @ABQschools @APSLZ4 @chris_zone4

If you haven't heard of @826National, check them out. They are a literacy nonprofit that is helping kids all over this country fall in love with the written word. I have one of their curriculum books on my shelf and I wear a pin from @826valencia almost every day.

Lew Wallace has had a challenging year so far. But we hold each other up and create happiness and fun with each other. Here’s a peek about how the Bear Cubs are doing ♥️ youtu.be/IFtiw-uwWf4 @APSLZone1 @ABQschools @TheEllenShow

Good morning @ABQschools! Today is a great day to reteach behavior. Remember that it is always ok to stop and reteach your students how to meet expectations using the teach, rehearse, reinforce method. It will make the rest of your week much easier!

Hey Roe, heard you started another book…whatcha reading?📚Remember, reading just 30 minutes a day does ⚡️EPIC⚡️ things for your brain 🧠! @APSLZ4 @ABQschools @gms88254660 @Counseling_GMS @AlbuquerquePub1 @AlbuquerquePub1

Listening to the school board retreat on discipline and it is so inspiring to hear the students of APS speaking up to advocate for policy that better meets their needs! Their eloquent words bravely represent their peers!

Happy friday everyone! We hope that you have a restful weekend. Remember that Mazlow before Bloom applies to everyone in the school community, not just the kids.

It is been a while since we last tweeted but we're back at it! Here's a behavior support tip to celebrate! @ABQschools

"You’re more than just an educator. You’re a leader, a friend, and an advocate. You may be the biggest source of inspiration and comfort in a student’s day." - @NoahRue teachingchannel.com/blog/mental-he…

@DEESPrincipal @ABQschools @chris_zone4 @APSLZ4 I love this! What a wonderful way to bring positive displays of values and motivating words to your school! <3

During our orientation week each teacher developed their catch phrase, their north star , what they believe deep in their soul. I love this display of what matters to them as educators! #TheGreatestSchool🎪 #DoubleEagleSOARs #kidsdeserveit @ABQschools @chris_zone4 @APSLZ4

Humor helps everything, even mask wearing!
