Spotlight: Social Emotional Learning (Workshop & Visit)

11/2/2018

 
This year our school is prioritizing social/emotional learning for our students as part of our work in helping every child reach their full potential. In order to do this, every school day now begins with thirty minutes dedicated to supporting this goal.
Morning Circle Practice

After engaging in several social/emotional learning routines, all of our students participate in a classroom circle each morning. Circles are a means for our students to:
  • continuously build community in their classroom,
  • problem solve conflicts that may arise,
  • or participate in a 4R lesson.

The 4R curriculum (Reading, Writing, Respect, and Resolution) was created by the Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility to teach our children foundational life skills to develop empathy and build relationships. Our morning circles also provide students with a place to practice those skills. 
Parent Workshop: Social Emotional Learning at PS 39
Presented by Morningside Center
Monday, November 5 (6:30- 7:30 pm)​Parents that are interested in learning about our students' social emotional learning time during morning circles each day are invited to attend this informational evening with Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsibility. The presentation will include information about Morningside's 4R (Reading, Writing, Respect and Resolution) curriculum and restorative circle practices.
​
