Social Emotional Learning

K-8 Emotions & Relationships
 With the end of the school year rapidly approaching, Students are preparing for upcoming overnight trips. Upper El and Middle Schoolers have focused on developing healthy relationships and readiness for their trips. We talk with students about physical boundaries, emotional boundaries, hygiene, and homesickness. By creating a space for students to discuss these topics, ask questions, and review photos from previous trips, students are set up for successful experientials.
   We remind students that a growth mindset and facing challenges are normal parts of the experience. We identify ways to stretch ourselves enough to grow without hitting our “panic zone.”
