Message about S.E.L. (Social emotional learning) with Ms. Taylor:

As our weather is getting better, I will be incorporating the garden for our SELs. This will include introducing the topic of our lesson, reflecting and having a discussion, and then working on a task. Garden tasks may include watering, pulling weeds, planting seeds as well as vegetables into the garden beds. Going out to the garden may not occur every lesson, however, I want to make sure it happens often. I will also be incorporating mindfulness-based activities and practices for our garden/SEL lessons. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out by emailing [email protected] 

Please make sure to read the weekly update sent from the office each week for information on other topics.

Have a great week,

Katie Loomis
