Social Emotional Success

Help me give my students the social emotional tools they need for mental and academic success!

My Project

As a 5th grade teacher, social-emotional learning is at the forefront of everything I do. Not only is it crucial for student success, but it is a tool that children will need as they progress into their adult life. This is my 7th year of teaching, and as each year passes, I notice an increased need for social-emotional tools such as books, snacks, fidgets, and cool down corner materials. If a child does not feel taken care of emotionally and mentally, how are they going to feel comfortable enough to learn during a math lesson? These needs must be taken care of before learning can take place.

"SEL is beneficial to both children and adults, increasing self-awareness, academic achievement, and positive behaviors both in and out of the classroom.

From an academic standpoint, students who participated in SEL programs saw an 11 percentile increase in their overall grades and better attendance. On a more individual level, the skills learned within an SEL program have been shown to help students better cope with emotional stress, solve problems, and avoid peer pressure to engage in harmful activities."

My classroom is filled with diverse students with varying needs for success. Their exceptionalities are what make them individuals and as individuals, they require tools that enable their learning. My goal for this project is to provide them with these tools and in turn increase engagement, mental positivity, and academics. The snacks will ensure students don't go hungry, they fidgets will add to our calm down corner, and the texts will provide insight to students.
