Social
Emotional Learning
I
know that social-emotional learning is very trendy right now. I’m glad that it’s finally becoming an issue
that society is willing to talk about.
It’s extremely important to address this in the classroom.
We
need to teach our children how to understand and manage their emotions and
establish positive relationships.
Showing empathy for other people is also important for them to learn
now. The research on SEL has become
extensive in the last decade.
Benefits
of Incorporating SEL
- Students showed improved classroom behaviors
- Academic performance improved
- Can help reduce poverty
- Improve economic mobility

Learning (CASEL)
You
will hear me say this a million times, but we are living in a time where there
is such a wide variety of picture books.
Picture books that cover every topic you could imagine! I get excited with each new title that is
being released in the picture book space.
I
saw Breathe with Me: Using Breath to Feel Strong, Calm, and Happy (affiliate link) on my
Instagram feed and wanted to introduce it to my students. It’s a wonderful book that teaches readers how
to use their breathing to control their feelings and emotions. The book gives different scenarios and offers
a detail instruction guide for a specific kind of breath.
Here
is a free guide with more ideas on how to use the book in your classroom.
How do you incorporate SEL in your classroom?
