I don’t know about you guys but March for me ALWAYS means renorming and practicing expectations... again. One of the things I love do is review good and poor choices. It’s a quick reminder in a fun way! You can learn more about this and other Social Emotional resources I use in my newest blog post. How do you review expectations with students?{🔗 on profile}••••#elementaryteacher #teaching #classroom #teachingideas #classroomideas #education #handsonlearning #teachertribe #teacher #teachers#teacherlife #teacherproblems #firstgrade #firstgradeteacher #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teachersofig #iteach #iteachfirst #igconnect4edu #teacherspayteachers #weareteachers #primaryteacher #socialemotionallearning #socialemotionalskills #teacherblogger #teacherblog #teacherbloggers #classroommanagement #teachingtips ...

I’ve been sharing about Social Emotional activities this week. This is one of my favorite ways to get to know students better and connect on a deeper level. Students are always SO real while sharing! I NEVER force students to share if they don’t want to but I do share real feelings with them. ❤️ If you would like to learn more about this and other activities, you can check out my newest blog post! {🔗 on profile}••••#elementaryteacher #teaching #classroom #teachingideas #classroomideas #education #handsonlearning #teachertribe #teacher #teachers#teacherlife #teacherproblems #firstgrade #firstgradeteacher #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #teachersofig #iteach #iteachfirst #iteachtoo #igconnect4edu #teacherspayteachers #weareteachers #teacherblog #socialemotionallearning #socialemotional #classroomcommunity #teacherblogger #teacherbloggers #socialemotionaldevelopment ...
