As a teacher, I love to be able to provide a positive environment in my classroom. Sometimes it can be hard, as kids get distracted or discouraged. Class Dojo is an app that is used in schools across the US and around the globe to connect teachers and parents. They also have resources and activities that can be used outside the classroom, whether or not teachers are using the app, to help parents work on a child's emotional development, something that's not an explicit part of most schools' curriculum.
Recently they launched resources about Mindfulness, teaming up with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. Mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety and improve optimism and focus in the classroom. Previously they had series on Growth Mindset and Empathy.
I have a chance to giveaway ClassDojo posters and a plushie! To enter, leave a comment about which resource set you think would be most helpful for your family. Deadline is July 31st.
