We always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, play, Music, Art, Physical Education, etc. But now we limit or take them away & then we wonder why students lack social/emotional skills, resiliency, and the ability to connect with others.

How would you build a flood resistant home? These third grade engineers are working on it.

Second graders just harvested 27 pints of tomatoes (cherry, orange, yellow pear, tiny treat) and several pints of peppers. Lots of happy, healthy eating from our sustainable Glen Giving Garden!

So true.

@wwsweb So proud of our teens who have embraced this cause! You are incredible humans.

Our students need recess, unstructured play, physical education, all the Arts, and their extracurricular activities! That's how we make their social/emotional health a priority and actually increase their academic achievement as well.

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Please don't remove students from physical education, music, Arts, or other classes to remediate them in other areas. These classes are just as important for overall education and may be their favorite classes and one of the reason they actually enjoy school.

A real focus on student success would include:
* later start time and shorter day
* more Arts, Physical Ed.
* more recess
* More focus on students' strengths
* more divergent learning
(innovation/ creativity)
*less high stakes testing
* more fun
* celebrate successes

Teachers, want to take something off your plate? Put HW in the trash. Especially for elementary, let students go home, run, play, and enjoy being a child. And read a little after playing. Then they come to school recharged instead of stressed out and you will too!

@LRiggsy3 @MapleGlenWWS @wwsweb You do an amazing job, Riggle!
