Don’t know what fidget tools to get? Ask your students! We tried a variety and decided if they were an “always, sometimes, or never”. And then we make some guidelines together about when and how to use them in our classroom. #studentvoice #sd34learn #abbyschools

From the early research that Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor shared, we updated with new practices as we teach this to our students! They are learning deeply about the pause, resourcing our nervous systems and the power that comes from learning about our negative bias and reactive behavior

Working in collaboration with the ⁦@FraserValleyCDC⁩ to support educators with developing self-reg strategies in their classrooms. Go Melvin go! 🐵

@kvanegmond leading an after school EA training session on growth mindset. Great opportunity to learn and grow by being given an opportunity to do so. You can’t learn to swim in the parking lot. #abbyschools

📈 Our rubrics need to shift from being focused on what's missing to what's next. Learning progressions empower a growth mindset by focusing on what students CAN do. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter

Forest Friday. This native plant garden has been our outdoor classroom— we have witnessed the changing seasons, exploring and experiencing, playing, breathing, learning. Connecting to the land and one another. @AbbotsfordSD #socialemotionallearning

June is hard in kindergarten. So, what do we do? Create a calendar so they can see all the special events and create their own countdown to summer. Counting ✅ visuals ✅ student voice ✅ @AbbotsfordSD

The benefits of SEL are long-lasting. Studies have found that students continue to see mental health benefits from SEL training up to 18 years after their last lesson! Set your students up for a meaningful life. Prioritize SEL in the classroom. Here’s how.

Thank you CDG for your invitation for continued conversations. Your grace, vulnerability and critical mindedness showed up in so many ways. 👏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼 @CDGMiddle 💪🏼@kvanegmond 🫶🏼

As we prepare for these last few days or weeks of school, please remember that so many of our students are anticipating chronic unpredictability and a loss of felt safety as they enter summer break and behaviors will be dysregulated!

👏👏
