A5: Staying mindful! Not letting "all the things"....cloud my focus on what's important. #YCSDchat

A4: You can't pour from an empty cup.... We've got to focus on each other's mental health so we can be our best for our littles. #YCSDchat

A3: Dojo SEL videos , the Casel site and our amazing school counselor, Kristina Wallace! 🥰 #YCSDchat

A2: This year in morning meetings, we've incorporated scenarios and videos to work on the 5 competencies. Each week we build on a skill and figure out how we can apply it in and out of our classroom. #YCSDchat

A1: SEL creates an environment and atmosphere where Ss can learn at their optimal potential. Starting each day with time to discuss, share, feel and learn each other has not only bridged relationships in a potentially isolating year but created more academic success. #ycsdchat

@MrsYoklic @MsPerkyPerkins Yum!! 💙 can't wait!! 🍨

@smitchell024 @MsPerkyPerkins Whatever you're doing is working! She told me we need to include you in our next gelato outing!! 💛💙🍦

@MrsYoklic @MsPerkyPerkins #proud amazing night, @MsPerkyPerkins! Thank u for the inspirational evening!

@MsPerkyPerkins Great questions, Perk!!!! 💛💙

@MrsYoklic Love this! 💙

A5: High energy (but not even close to Perk!) and sharing a lot about myself. I also use a theme which I hope empowers my students(superheroes). Above all, I ensure my students know, without a doubt, that I love them and that I will keep them safe- online or in person. #YCSDchat

@MrsYoklic 💙💙💙 loving having her!

@smitchell024 is a fabulous teacher & E is lucky to be in her class!

@JillGillikinn @MsPerkyPerkins 😂😂😂

@smitchell024 @MsPerkyPerkins We are total opposites 😂😂

@MsPerkyPerkins I've learned more than ever how to "read the room". I can tell when to push ahead and when to pull back. I'm letting them take the lead and help each other. Kids are so amazing and this highlights what they can do more than ever! #ycsdchat

@MsPerkyPerkins A3: We have developed a practice for greeting one another, checking in, and doing temperature checks for feelings. I am loving the support of the Sanford Harmony site and the tools there. I also really love the dojo SEL videos. They're a great way to engage them! #ycsdchat

@MsPerkyPerkins I LOVE these!!

A3: We began to make SEL practice apart of our morning meeting. One PPT I utilize is Heart to Heart: SEL Conversation Starters. Each student gets to share. The dialogue with the kiddos is incredible. #YCSDchat

@MsPerkyPerkins A2: I took several of my day to day components online including calendar, interactive review games, and read alouds. I absolutely have continued to do so now that we are back in the classroom and I love it! #YCSDchat

@MsPerkyPerkins A1: The first day of school virtually was so different. I was so nervous and I know the kids were too. But it turned out soo great! We played games, we answered questions and we were forced to prioritize relationships, taking turns, trusting and creativity! 💙💻 #ycsdchat
