Happy Summer!!!
I am pawsitive it is going to be a great one!!!
Curious about our new SEL (social-emotional) program?
It's called Harmony,a research based program that has been shown to create stronger connections to school, decrease bullying & teasing, & increase academic achievement.
It has 4 units:
Unit 1: Being My Best Self: managing emotions, positive self-talk, growth mindset
Unit 2: Valuing Each Other: empathy, perspective taking, support
Unit 3: Communicating with Each Other: social & conversation skills, non-verbals, listening
Unit 4: Learning From Each Other: conflict resolution, apologizing
All classrooms will be using the Harmony program daily during Pride Time.
In addition, Pride Time will include explicit instruction on Executive Functioning Skills, which studies show students are more challenged by than ever before. This is likely due to a combination of the results of Covid & the widespread use of electronics.
