✨ Start your day with power! 💪 "I am smart. I am strong. I am brave." Mrs. O'Connor's class at Naper Elementary begins with affirmations, setting the stage for growth. 🌱 #Elevate203 #BacktoSchoolwithSEL @caselorg

Identifying and managing emotions and building relationships with others are bedrock #SEL skills, and the calm down corner in @Naperville203 Kindergarten teacher Alex O’Connor’s classroom helps young students learn them. “All emotions are totally valid. It’s about how do we handle them when they come up,” says Alex. To get #BacktoSchoolwithSEL, how do you work on these skills with your students, family, and self?

@Sn1per_T’s tiniest fan 🤍

“I’m doing it! I’m really doing it!” after using scissors independently for the first time is my heart warmer for the day. 💙 #PartnersinGrowth

The start of a new school year is a busy time, but be sure to carve out time to rest and be sure to take a break—both physical & mental!—from matters of your students and classroom. Overtaxing yourself is more likely to harm you and your students than help in the long run!#edchat

My heart is so happy 💙

Your energy sets the tone in your classroom. Taking care of yourself—doing what you can to feel good about who you are and what you’re doing will only make you a better friend, parent, neighbor, and especially, a better teacher. #edchat
