Planning for NSCW but not sure how? Here’s how we are celebrating NSCW 2026.

Week long Trivia:

Each day on the news I shared a trivia question. Teachers could e-mail me their answer and if there class answered correctly they were put in a daily drawing for a gift.

You can do any lost/no cost reward and this year I gave out small gift cards that I had pilled up.

You can see the trivia questions here:

Wellness Wednesday: Amplifying Our Self-Care

We set up a teacher self care station in the workroom with some mindful activities to get teachers thinking about self care but also learning more about the benefits of mindfulness.

• Mindful Smell: We laid out cotton pads and essential oils for teachers to dab and create a feel good smell to drop in their purses or use later.
• Mindful Sight: We encouraged teachers to draw, leave jokes, or doddle something fun on our wellness station. We just laid down butcher paper and markers. Simple and fun.
• Mindful Taste: We set out some candy for teachers along with directions on how teachers can savory it.

The posters are part of this pack here.

Amplify Student Success Bingo

I gave teachers a bingo card with different challenges and activities. Since we use Quaver in our district it also included activities like sing a song with a Quaver song.

Any teacher who completed any bingo (row, column, or diagonal) by Friday received a book for their classroom library. I have a stash of books from Scholastic Book Clubs, thrift stores, etc.
