Social Emotional Learning Question of the Week

One of our goals this year is to increase building-wide alignment of our weekly social emotional learning lessons, content, and economy of language. With that being said, we have a "SEL Question of the Week" that we discuss in our morning meetings and always aligns to monthly focus. Ms. Watson creates a weekly video to launch the week as well.

Please ask your students about these questions and about the conversations they are having at school!

March Focus: Kindness

Week 1: How can a kind act change the emotion someone is feeling?

Week 2: What does it look like to practice empathy at school?

Week 3: How do kind friends notice and respond to others’ emotions? 

Week 4:  How can you demonstrate empathy and kindness when you notice someone is having a problem?
