Welcome Parents and Students!

This Social-Emotional Learning ongoing class will help students increase self-esteem, self-awareness, positive thinking, friendship skills, and improve positive attitudes among peers. 

To facilitate learning and student interaction, we will read social stories about people in various real-life scenarios. Students are presented with memorable tools to apply skills in everyday life. In class we will discuss various social scenarios presented students will practice problem-solving, evaluate different solution paths, and resolve social and friendship conflicts.

As an ongoing class, students can join any week and there is no need to catch up on the previous lesson.
