Social-emotional learning during this time of distance learning is just as important- or more important- than academic learning. This morning, I needed an activity to help me reconnect and stay connected to my advisees, so I decided to do an unboxing… of myself! I chose 6 items that were important to me, grabbed a box out of my giant heap of boxes in our recycling bin, and proceeded to tell them all about myself using items they wouldn’t normally see in my classroom. I then invited my advisees to do the same during our future Google Meet periods! You can see a video of my “unboxing” here, and I’ll continue to post some of my activities and best practices to help you navigate distance learning.
