ACT News for ALL Ages
Great Information for All Families
SEL Home Connections (Grades 3-8) These parent letters and student worksheets focus on some of the core tools and strategies taught in social emotional learning. They can provide structure for teachers or parents to introduce SEL concepts to students while they are working at home and can help facilitate student and parent conversations around SEL, too. https://www.mawilearning.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/SEL_Home_Connections_2020.pdf
SEL Skill Building Activities (Grades 3-12) SEL skills are important for a broad range of reasons, especially in times of uncertainty. Educators, parents, and students can do these activities together and grow in areas like mindfulness, goal setting, and (virtual) collaboration to help with home learning.
