With #Thanksgiving right around the corner, now is a great time or all of us to pause and think about what we are thankful for. 




 




 #Social Emotional Learning


 


 #Thanksgiving Bucket List

 #Thanksgiving can be a difficult concept for young children to grasp. 

  • What exactly does it mean to be grateful? 
  • Why are we especially thankful this time of year? 
  • What should they be #grateful for? 

#Books are sometimes the best way to explain these concepts to children.




Ready or not, #Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I know you just got the bats and spiders put away, but now it’s time for #TURKEY!!

The men and women who have served in our #armed forces have given us the liberties we take for granted every day. We join the nation in honoring them on this #Veterans Day, as well as those who are presently preserving our nation's security. Together, let's #pray for these men and women to show them how much we value, care for, and support them.





 


Beloved #holiday train is back on the tracks to delight families in 3 #Mississippi cities this #Christmas season

By Magnolia State Live

A beloved holiday tradition is back on the tracks for Mississippi residents this Christmas season.

This year, the festive, six-car holiday train with intricate displays inside and out will bring Santa Claus and his elves to visit children and families in 20 communities in eight states. The train will stop in Vicksburg on Nov. 26 at 4 p.m., in Pearl on Nov. 27 at 4 p.m. and in Meridian on Nov. 28 at 4 p.m.

Ensure consistency between #classrooms. Because students frequently switch classes throughout the day, it's critical that their teachers be on the same page. It can be helpful to set an example for how to include #SEL with academics.

Use #peer #mentorship to develop your leadership skills and to hone your SEL abilities. Students from different age groups should be paired together to impart advice on how to succeed in challenging classes.


Keep adults in mind. Examine the ambiance at the school as a whole. Determine and get rid of any regulations that could give students conflicting messages, including conduct codes that are against the principles of the institution. #SEL
