So you want your students to feel that connected “family” like feeling? 💙 I don’t think it should be difficult OR take a ton of time to plan meaningful activities. (In fact, I think it’s even better if they’re planned out for you to choose from!)
If you want your students to…
📚 practice team building skills
📚 feel connected and spark friendships
📚 feel safe communicating their feelings
📚 start to feel like a family or unit in their class
…then you’re in the right place! Our app was built BY teachers FOR teachers — and this month we have a FREE SEL CALENDAR to send to you. No gimmicks! We designed daily activities for you to use back to school. It’s a clickable PDF oooor you can use it right in our free app. Whatever works for you and your planning time! 🫶🏼
For this FREE RESOURCE, comment SEPTEMBER & I will DM you the link! 📚❤️🖍️ Hope this makes back to school easier for you, love bugs!

Did you know movement (especially shaking and tapping!) is a self-regulation trick? Teaching kids how to self soothe and take breaks this school year is a GAME CHANGER for increasing their capacity to learn. We ALL need breaks— so this is the year we plan them for you with fun little activities like this one!
Read more about self-regulation skills in our blog with @betterlesson at the link in our stories or bio 🌈 and HUGE thank you to them for putting together such amazing resources for you all! 🙏🏼

HEAR ME OUT: Yes, students have things to accomplish AND yes, their brains and bodies need breaks. They are people, too! If you need breaks, so do they!
✍🏼 Here’s a few ideas for transitional breaks to try implementing this week:
Between activities you could…
🧠 encourage everyone to stand up and stretch or “shake their sillies out.” You can even choose a student to be “coach” and lead the class through 3 stretches or movements of their choosing. 🧘🏼♀️
🧠 allow everyone to take a “rest stop” after working very hard on a task. This just means laying their head on their desk or finding a comfy spot on the floor and closing their eyes for a second. If you want, you can put on a 1-2 min timer OR a peaceful song and just let them “rest” until it’s over. 😴
🧠 pause and do deep breaths together. Either model a breath like a “belly breath,” use one of Kikori’s many breathing exercises in our app, OR allow students to make up their own creative breath technique (ie: “the alligator breath” where you open and close your arms like a mouth while you breathe in and out) 🐊
🧠 take a few minutes to come up with and repeat affirmations together. These help build students’ confidence and help motivate them to keep working hard! Search “affirmations” in our app for more about these!
Try using just ONE of these SHORT activities between your lessons this week and let us know how to it goes. Don’t forget, kids are people, too, and they need to feel connected and taken care of in order to learn. 🫶🏾✨
