SEL Lessons

COVID outbreak caused teachers and students to stay at home and learn. After being indoors for extended period of time, it leads to many effects that influence students' mental health, social skills, and academics. Some challenges faced include learning gaps, feelings of uncertainty, grief of a loved one, and social relationships with friends and families from being apart for extended time. Socioemotional lessons can help students cope and manage their feelings whether it be stress, anxiety, sadness, or uncertainty. If they are in a good, healthy mood, then they are able to learn.
