It's time to celebrate! Throughout the year, students have shown remarkable growth, leadership, and resilience, and June is the perfect time for end-of-year social-emotional learning that honors how far they've come. This month's calendar invites students to reflect on their accomplishments, recognize their impact, and step confidently into leadership as they learn to let their own light shine.
Kikori's June Experiential Connection Calendar (SEL calendar) is a research-based social-emotional learning tool that helps students shine their light, with a fun national day, a real-life role model, and a low-prep activity for every single day. Across four weeks, students move through the core SEL competencies (self-awareness, self-motivation, perspective-taking, and relationship skills) with each day pairing a fun national day. With low-prep, movement-based advisory activities and daily reflection questions, students close the year ready to shine in the next chapter of their journey! ☀️
🌱 What is the Kikori Experiential Connection Calendar?
The Kikori Experiential Connection Calendar (also known as our SEL calendar) is a research-based tool designed to help PreK–12th grade students grow their social-emotional skills in meaningful and joyful ways. Aligned with CASEL's core competencies and built around Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle, the calendar features daily activities connected to national days, monthly themes, and reflection prompts that support self-awareness, responsible decision-making, relationship-building, and more. Each month offers four learning intentions tailored to different grade levels, making it easy for educators to integrate SEL into their daily routines - no extra prep required!

I’ve read multiple articles on Fairplay pro and Fairplaypro .com , but this one stood out because of its clarity and depth. You’ve covered points that are usually ignored. Really appreciate the effort!
La Primera De Hoy Excelente iniciativa para fortalecer el aprendizaje socioemocional de los estudiantes. Las actividades son creativas, prácticas e inspiradoras. También consulto La Primera De Hoy para mantenerme informado. ¡Gran contenido!
I enjoyed this calendar update and the way it brings attention to upcoming activities and opportunities. Keeping communities organized and engaged is valuable, especially when resources are presented in a simple format. I came across a related idea on https://peacockbuild.com/ that also focused on making information easier to access.
I like how Sky Exchange keeps everything organized and easy to access.
Fairplaybook is genuinely impressive!
