If there’s one thing I wish schools understood, it’s this—
SEL isn’t a program.
It’s a paradigm shift in thinking.
An ongoing process.
An intentional effort.
To teach in the everyday moments.

A favorite activity to build community and compassion in classrooms 💗

🌴🦥I was supposed to be playing with sloths in Costa Rica last week for Spring Break. Canceling that trip was not on my 2026 BINGO card.

Instead of swinging on a hammock in a forest, I got busy. Claude helped me with the X’s and O’s created 9 new resources including-classroom agreements, compliment tag, SEL scategories (my favorite) but also this freebie:

👉Every class has rules. Not every class has agreements. Class Agreements is a community-building activity that gives students a real say in the kind of classroom they become — one where they feel socially and emotionally safe, connected, and like they belong. Instead of rules handed down from the front of the room, students co-create the values, commitments, and conflict strategies that will guide them all year — then sign their name to it.

This activity helps students understand that the kind of class they want to be in is the kind of class they have to build.

🥦🌶️🌻 Students had the chance to enter a daily raffle and win lunch in the garden with a friend as part of our “Grow Kindness” theme.

🌷🌱🌺 Kids were excited to enjoy a new setting sitting on benches under fruit trees, making valentine packets filled with flower seeds to help our Monarchs —and enjoy playing in the school garden, tasting peppers, broccoli, and cauliflower. Seeing siblings invite one another and new friendships develop has been a highlight! So many schools don’t have gardens, it was fun to take advantage of a green space and soak it up.

🌼🦋🌸 In 2024, there was a 96% drop in the Monarch butterfly population compared to the year before, counting just 9,119 Monarch butterflies!!!

It's the second-lowest number ever counted in 28 years of tracking data!

The lowest was 1,901 monarch butterflies in 2020.

What’s causing the population decline?

The biggest threat is the vanishing milkweed, which is the host plant for caterpillars that metamorphosize into butterflies.

Experts said a combination of drought, wildfires, agriculture and urban development have caused the plants to disappear. Plus, pesticides have contaminated many of those that remain.
