What are
YOU
Doing
for #SELday?
"I will be promoting the #SELday hashtag. My second-grade students will have conversations during our morning meeting: What does it mean to find a common ground? We all have unique gifts and talents, what strengths do we see in each other?
Students will then write a strength about each classmate on a poster and we will then post it outside our classroom."
Alejandra Gonzalez-NavarreteTeacher, AISD/ St. Elmo
"We are planning a week-long SELebration with District-wide daily activities, videos, announcements, mindfulness practices, student writing/creative contest, SEL Feature Teacher awards, and teacher participation awards. Campuses may have food trucks and cookouts on SEL Day and we will have prize patrol on Friday as well."
"Our team has created a special addition SEL Newsletter to SEL-abrate social emotional learning in Washington State!"
- Creating SEL Day posters for a poster exhibition
- Promoting teamwork: to teach them to cooperate, communicate, negotiate and argue their opinions, we made a panel for SEL Day
- Use of quotes / ideas to increase the mindset during the dedicated SEL DAY classes
"We have a calendar of events leading to to SEL DAY. We will also record students and post about how SEL is impacting their schools."
"Our team of International Baby Signs® Instructors will be working together to spread the word about the importance of SEL. We will be sharing tips and activities online and in person using feeling signs like happy, sad, love, afraid, angry and sorry to help families communicate with their pre-verbal infants and toddlers using simple signs and gestures. Our social media will share posters, stories, tips, videos, story times and more!"

“If we intend to recapture the energy that has created progress for our youth and lift up their experiences as students, members of our society, victims of this pandemic, and resilient leaders, then we must invest in systems that know, believe, and lift up each student.”
