S.E.L. (Social Emotional Learning) School-Home connections to help students grow their SEL skills! BPS Strategic Plan Priority 2, Strategy 3-Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Programs BPS Strategic Plan Priority 2, Strategy 4-Family & Community Partnerships All students at JBN learn about social emotional skills in their daily classroom meetings. All teachers follow the District’s Portrait of a Graduate sequence grades K-5. For the months of August and September our focus will be on Self Management. Self-management is the ability to control your actions, emotions, and thoughts to make good choices. It means staying calm when frustrated, focusing on tasks, and practicing self-discipline. When you use self-management, you can set goals, make plans, and keep trying—even when things are difficult. This skill helps with schoolwork, friendships, and handling challenges. Learning to pause, take deep breaths, and think before acting is a powerful way to grow and succeed! Students are learning about classroom regulation spots to help with regulating emotions and behaviors in the classroom. All classrooms at JBN have a regulation spot for students to use tools to help them regulate! A strategy they learn about in the regulation spot are different breathing techniques. |
