Use this updated dry-erase poster (18” x 24”) as a powerful, versatile, metacognitive tool to encourage an understanding of how we are all part of a socially responsive community; that the things we ALL do impact one another’s thoughts and feelings, which guides what we do and say, and ultimately how we feel ourselves.
