Capturing Kids' Hearts & Social Emotional Learning
Character education is important for our school community at Maize Central Elementary. We strive to teach our students about social and emotional learning through the Capturing Kids' Hearts (CKH), Second Step, and Maize Way Character Education programs. Each month our school focuses on learning about a specific character trait, and the CKH program offers a newsletter with social emotional learning ideas for families to implement at home. Last month's character trait was Compassion, and students learned about having empathy for others. Please click here for the CKH family newsletter about implementing this character trait at home.
