Want to prepare for a classroom pet? This classroom practices the responsibility with rocks first!
Zones of Regulation is a great resource to use to help students recognize both their emotions and their peers!
Using dot stickers for students to show their interests is a great alternative to writing their name. Some students might enjoy sharing about themselves in a more anonymous way! Plus you can see patterns in your classroom :)

What? "Morning Ritual" chant found in Ariana Thomas' 2nd grade room at Byrd!
Why? This is a great way to build class community and self confidence in your students. The more they hear this, repeat it out loud, and see it, the more likely they are to believe it! It sets the tone for the day with a positive mindset :)
How? You can put this on a Google Slide and say it to end your morning circles. You can also print it onto a poster and hang it up for students to refer to daily.
