SEL Monthly Newsletter

This month we will wrap up Cooperation November 11th . We will start Responsibility on November 14th.

Objective: Responsibility is to take action and understand how our choices affect others and the world.

Objective: Students will look at other people’s perspectives and practice Respectful, persuasive communication skills.

Sometimes our students just need some time to check in on their emotions, choose strategies that will support them, regroup, and then come back and join the class.

Allowing them this time for themselves alleviates the stress of trying to continue to stay in their racing thoughts or big emotions and gives them time to regulate themselves so that they can continue to co-regulate with the people around them. With less disruptions and big outbursts, a calm space is the perfect tool for some students.

It's important to teach your students that everything inside the calm space is a TOOL not a TOY. It is imperative that they understand HOW to use each of these tools, how to set the timer, and how to leave them space when they are finished.
