⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “We need to teach social/emotional lessons and I incorporated this into morning meetings and sometimes after snack break too. I love the extra links and all the prompts to write about, but mostly, I love that the students can self-assess and make goals. My administrator was impressed by that when they happened to walk in one time.”
