Mrs. DeKezel, the elementary school counselor, has been visiting the junior high classrooms once a month to share social and emotional learning (SEL) lessons with the students. This month, seventh graders learned about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, while eighth graders learned about overcoming negativity. Through these lessons, students are learning skills like problem-solving, self-regulation, and empathy, which lead to helping improve academics, reduce negative social behaviors, and create positive classroom climates.
Walter, Certified School Therapy Dog, visited Mrs. Hagaman's music class with 1st grade students yesterday. He enjoys traveling from class to class greeting all the students and teachers. Thank you to Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. DeValkenaere for coordinating Walter's presence at school.
