The Social Emotional Lesson book has so many wonderful ideas on how to create the best impact, I've already got a few things in mind! The materials for the bulletin board are absolutely amazing and I can't wait to make a new one each month to offer encouragement and community building at our school. I just placed up the different winter holidays and it looks great! I'm also super thankful for the amazing tools to give out to kids for positive behavior. We love to reward our students for doing amazing things and they love the prizes they get to pick out. Some students have already picked out some of the items that will definitely help them with their mental health.
