We've been doing lots of breathing and using a calm down jar. It's been doing a lot of cool stuff for us. And I'm not sure what an appreciation circle is. But after a community meeting on how we can communicate better, I had my students each take turns approaching one student and finishing the sentence "I like how you..." It was absolutely wonderful, warm, and affirming. I want to learn how to put more of this in our days.<br /><br />I also like your question about how teachers can find the space for this. I think that what we need the most and what we give ourselves the least is time and space for breathing, thinking, digesting, being.
