Mood Meter
Teachers will continue to use the mood meter with student's to help build social/emotional intelligence. Conversations are centered around student's identifying what color they are in (red, yellow, blue & green), a word to describe their feeling, why they are feeling that way, if they want to remain feeling that way or if they want to adjust how they feel - what can they do to get to feel that way.
Brain Power Wellness
Brain Power Wellness teaches physical and mental brain breaks, mindfulness practices, and social emotional wellness strategies that support a positive classroom atmosphere. We partner with Teachers, Students, Parents, and Administrators to create a sustainable, healthy, happy and focused school environment.
