Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) occurs when children learn and practice essential life skills that will help them grow into capable, kind, and confident citizens.
At Oak Orchard, each child receives SEL instruction in the form of classroom lessons, carried out by the counseling team every other week.
We strongly encourage you to click on your student's grade level below to explore the SEL skills they will learn and practice throughout the year. Alongside each skill, you will find quick and easy activities that you can do at home to help your child apply the skills they are learning in the classroom. Taking the time to review these skills and practice them regularly at home can make a meaningful difference in your child’s social and emotional development!
