This is an incredible wealth of information on How to use Reflect to support well-being in the classroom! 💗
Find the full link in @sparvell's post below but I loved seeing these great companion tools featured like @powerpoint, @Kahoot, and @MicrosoftFlip! 🫶
#BetterTogether🤝
ALT Screenshot of the companion tools page in the How to use Reflect resource. Feelings Monster is seen behind a wave graphic and three round rectangles with PowerPoint, Kahoot!, and Flip seen each with a QR to the resources within each space.
Free resource packed with ideas to open up conversation around social-emotional skills in the primary classroom.
