HUGE shoutout to our speakers today for @GRRECKY’s CCR Network virtual meeting: Tina Brogli & John Paise (both from @KyDeptofEd), Dr. Masters (Henry Co. Superintendent) & Dr. Nash (@universityofky). Loved learning more about work-base learning, pathways - Ss success, and AI.

Had an incredible time presenting #TheRegulatedClassroom to a passionate group of mental health & school counselors, teachers, OTs, & district leaders! Dove into the 4 core practices—Connectors, Activators, Settlers, and Affirmations—and had so much fun practicing them. @GRRECKY

Today, Tonya & I had the privilege to collaborate with Dr. Jones, Emilee B & other Russellville Independent Schools leaders in training all staff on Restorative Language including elements of HeartMath. I love their approach to implementing and future goals.

Then, Allen County Primary Center hosted a Wellness Night. ❤️ the Disney theme. Decided the GRREC table would be Inside Out 2 (of course). Had so much fun creating the activities for PK-2 and grades 3-5 and buying the supplies and giveaways!

2 days, 3 AMAZING school/districts. Clinton Co MS for Growth vs Fixed Mindset & Mindfulness lessons in 7th grade-they did a wonderful job of working together & not giving up when challenged. We discussed famous failures, completed puzzles & played Jenga with a mindfulness twist.

Learned so much from Dr. Feifer today @GRRECKY. Heard him over a year ago at Learning & The Brain Conf. I remember coming back asking if we could bring a national speaker to GRREC. He has been on our calendar for over a year - but the wait was worth it!

@CharlePeck @GRRECKY Charle, it was so much fun. We talked about emotions using feelings words and the weather.

@SherlynBratcher @GRRECKY This is a great exercise!

Had so much FUN leading an SEL Family Drumming session last night. From rhythm sticks, Djembe drums, steel drums, hand drums and shakers. @GRRECKY #SEL

This is a great conference to attend!
