Customer Reviews
Amy
My students love this podcast! It’s the perfect length and sparks great conversations!
Wonderful!
This is a really thoughtful and great podcast for the classroom. I listened to both of them in class this week and my kids loved them. We did an activity in the show notes and it was so easy to do all of in a short amount of time. If you are looking for something to enhance understanding of SEL concepts in your class- try this!
