This past month Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), students focused on emotions, experiences , and conversation skills across grade levels.
6th grade students worked to identify aspects of basic emotional expressions. They also explored the specific information we get from these emotions. Improving our ability to recognize emotions and understanding their purpose are key aspects of integrating our emotional experiences. It also helps us take purposeful action rather than being reactive.
7th grade students identified on significant events from their life journey and reflected on growth that has come through these experiences. They learned how understanding our past experiences builds awareness of values, interests, beliefs, and significant relationships. By understanding where we have been and what has shaped us, we can choose a future path that aligns with what is important to us.
8th grade students practiced starting and sustaining conversations. They discussed how conversation skills aren’t just valuable in making new friends but are essential for social agility as they encounter situations in which they need to step outside their comfort zone. By practicing conversation skills in low-stakes situations, students can strengthen these skills and approach higher-stakes social situations with more confidence.
