Another way that 6th grade promotes social emotional learning is through morning greetings. Mrs. Mack greets each student by name, w/ music playing in the background, creating a positive atmosphere for all who come in contact w/ her. Students choose their method of greeting.

Here's what Ms. Hardin's Transitional Kindergarten has done for Social Emotional Learning. Students put hearts on their kindness tree. When the students perform acts of kindness, they color a heart and put it on the tree. This is one way kindness is encouraged in the classroom.
Here are some kids who had fun while learning- Mrs. Dynes' 2nd graders. After learning about the properties of materials used for clothing, they had to design and build hats to survive on a desert island. Great job, kiddos!

For Social Emotional Learning in first grade, Ms. Jones' class has morning meetings where they discuss positive character traits and feelings of the day. These meetings help students learn about each other, become more supportive, and build a community. Great to see!
Meet Darian. She received a positive referral from her teacher because she has been so helpful with a new student in her class. She automatically stepped in to help the student feel comfortable, translated lessons, and became a friend. Thanks, Darian! You make us proud. :)
Congratulations to Julian, our first "Attendance Hero" (Here Everyday Ready and On Time). Every week, we'll choose 1 random student who was here every day from the prior week, and reward them.
