With so little time in the day, it seems like you only have enough time to get in the core curriculum; however, there is one more vital subject that needs to be included- social emotional learning. My research was based on how to include this and explore what the possible benefits could be. I have brought morning meetings into my classroom this year and have watched my class become closer to each other, open up more so I and other students could get to know them, and overall build a very strong, family-like classroom community. I focused on using sharing during my morning meetings to help foster relationships among students and with me. I believe that including social-emotional learning in any grade level can be extremely beneficial. My hope is that after this session, you walk away feeling empowered to make time for social-emotional learning and will have ideas to get started! If you have been wanting to include this in your classroom and just haven’t dove in feet first, this session will help you take the jump!
