Enrichment: Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and Strategies Grades 3-5: 1x Week

🧠🩷🤝
In this ongoing class, we will learn explicit skills and strategies to develop a healthy outlook of ourselves and others, and gain self-awareness for stronger social and emotional wellbeing.

This class is a variation of my SEL daily class. Once a week short lessons will help students start the day off on the right foot, check in emotionally during the middle of the day, or end their day with reflection. The schedule below shows possible topics for the applicable week.

Each lesson is derived from an SEL competency which are repeated throughout the weeks so that your learner will continue to develop these important skills. Your child can join any or all of the sessions.

The 5 SEL competencies:
+Self-Awareness
+Self-Management
+Responsible Decision-Making
+Relationship Skills
+Social Awareness
