Social and emotional learning is a life long skill. It will teach children the importance of managing and understanding their emotions and actions, and being aware of others. These social and self awareness skills will allow them to set and achieve high goals for themselves-- not only in school, but it will set them up for success in life.

As your child's teacher, it is important that I not only teach them academics, but the whole child. I am their guide on the path to be a responsible & respectful, compassionate & collaborative being.

In my classroom we practice building healthy relationships and develop a respect and empathy for one another through meaningful, student led conversations, cooperative grouping, and effective problem solving.

SEL is not an isolated skill. It is important that is is engrossed in all areas of our day!
