Social Emotional Learning

11/14/25

Hello 7th grade parents! We are excited to be back in class this week and continuing our work with the RULER curriculum.  Students are taking part in lessons that have them read a scenario and to try and see the best version of themselves and develop a response to the scenario.  This activity is intended to show students that every situation where we regulate our emotions requires intentionally thinking about a strategy and not just reacting. These lessons also encourage students to take a Meta-Moment (Another way of saying a brief moment) and when they think of their best self, engage in the strategy that they believe would be the best course of action to take in that situation. If you have any questions about SEL in the 7th grade, please reach out to jstarner@lawrenceschool.org  Thanks!
