FRIENDZY DAILY REINFORCEMENT TOOLS
The Friendzy Daily Reinforcements are meant to be brief 3-15 minute interactive experiences that can take place at the beginning of class, at the end of class, or before/after key transition times. They work synergistically with Friendzy lessons and provide a pathway for students (and you as a teacher) to practice emotional competency skills on a daily basis. You may notice that some of these practices are already a part of your daily routine!
Ways to Stay Engaged in Social and Emotional Learning Every Day
Warm Welcome
A Warm Welcome sets the tone for every student to feel seen, heard and known, creating a positive and safe learning environment. This habit shapes how students engage with each other and develops a sense of collective identity and belonging.
Daily Check-In Tool
The Daily Check-In Tool creates a space for students to practice self-awareness through identifying their emotions. When we talk about emotions every day, we are increasing each student’s emotional literacy; this will lead to greater academic success and coping skills. You may not “fix” the emotion, but you can acknowledge it. When teachers acknowledge their students’ emotions, it demonstrates care and concern for that student; students feel seen and known. Available in poster, desk, and digital formats.
Weather Our Problems Tool
Using this easy-to-use tool, students can better regulate their emotions and become their own problem solvers. As they learn that big emotions come and go, they can make choices that will help them return to sunnier weather. Incorporating this weather chart into your teaching is a great way to support your students' emotional growth.
