Use SEL Today!
It's easy to incorporate SEL into your day- some of these strategies (Calm Breathing, Check-in, and Kind Words) require no preparation. There are also many books that can be used as read aloud choices (see Books/Read Alouds on the Resources page), providing another opportunity to integrate SEL into the day.

The short video below, "A Breakthrough in Social and Emotional Learning", discusses and illustrates some of the concepts I have shared on this page. The funny thing is, I hadn't watched this video before implementing these SEL strategies in my class. It was very cool to see some of these related strategies (compliments, kind words, bucket filling language, a morning check-in-type of circle) being discussed and used successfully in this school.
