Your April eSEL Calendar is here!

ENLIST THE POWER OF PLAY with Kikori’s Easy-to-use Daily Calendar

Welcome to Kikori! Every month we share free experiential Social-Emotional Learning (eSEL) activities for educators everywhere. Whether you have 5 or 60 minutes a day to focus on SEL skills, our goal is to provide you with options for relevant, engaging activities EVERY DAY that are aligned to your students’ developmental needs. Our calendar is always designed with YOU in mind!

This April, our eSEL calendar focuses on the new energy and new beginnings that spring brings. Spring is a time to be re-awakened, re-inspired, and most importantly, re-WILDED. Re-WILDED means bringing out the playful side of every student while encouraging them to connect with nature and the magic of spring! All activities that focus on nature are marked with a leaf in the eSEL planner.

*Important Note*

This April, we have reimagined the way we share calendars with our users. Kikori previously offered 3 different monthly calendars - our SEL Calendar, Morning Meeting, and Advisory Calendars. In order to streamline our process and make things crystal clear for educators everywhere, we now offer 1 monthly Kikori eSEL Calendar imagined two ways:

1. Kikori Elementary eSEL Calendar (K-5)

2. Kikori Advisory eSEL Calendar (Middle & High School)

The calendars share a monthly theme, and activities within the two clickable calendars are specially catered to that age range. If you want to specify for your student grade further, click on the correct grade level variation within the activity! We also encourage you to explore our “Variations” offered within individual Kikori activities.
