Community Review for Smiling Mind
My Take
The product would work very well with my behavior students (PASS) and students who are placed in the In school suspension (ISS) programs. The students would be able to understand why they act a certain way and how to control their actions.
How I Use It
I used the product as a warm-up or ice breaker assignment. The students were very exicited to try something new and they gain a lot knowledge going through the product.

This has made my teaching better because the student just looks at the app and reaches for help and we have taught him how to do so, so our teaching is not interrupted as much as it used to be.
