How do you handle English mental health?

There's a really good website that covers this (TeachersPayTeachers has some free ones).

This is a tough one. I usually reach out to the parents first to get their perspective.

I totally agree with this! In my classroom, we always start with a mini-lesson.

It really depends on the grade level, but generally I find strict boundaries help.

I found that breaking it down into smaller, manageable groups works best.
