SEL Mondays

Today was the first day of our SEL Mondays!  SEL stands for Social-Emotional Learning, and we use two programs to teach these lessons.

The Choose Love program teaches four concepts:  courage, gratitude, forgiveness, and compassion.  This creates the Choose Love formula that helps students manage their emotions and responses to any situation.  Students will practice the formula throughout the year as the character values will positively transform their feelings, relationships with others, and create a ripple effect of happiness and health.

We also use the Second Step curriculum to supplement Choose Love.  Second Step focuses on building social-emotional skills, like nurturing positive relationships, managing emotions, and problem-solving.
