Opening Routine: Emoji Emotions

As we return to school this year, Pear Deck has partnered with Facing History and Ourselves to help build community and trust within classrooms, both physical and virtual. With these quick, interactive routines—designed to take five to ten minutes each—educators can foster a sense of belonging and prioritize social-emotional learning every day.

In this routine, students use emojis to name and communicate what they are feeling and to build empathy by listening to others share their emotions.
