Penny Creek Elementary School

Social-Emotional Learning:

• MindUp Videos

  MindUP has a variety of video resources to support students in learning the language of emotions and to use their words to express how they're feeling. This is a curriculum within the Achieve program but is open to all.

  • Select a video and practice the skill. After watching the video your student can reflect (talk, write, draw) on the skills and share times they might use it to help them.
  • Depending on your student’s needs they can engage in this activity once a week to daily for 15-30 minutes

  Watch a Mind Up video and practice a skill. Videos must be watched on a personal device since student devices filter Vimeo.
