Writing and expressing feelings in a private space with a Social Emotional Learning Journal

First activity:

Many of our JH students have been experiencing high levels of stress due to being separated from friends and

stuck at home. On top of it, some are worried about getting sick ,while

others, whose families are experiencing financial worries or illness are especially vulnerable.

There are ways we can support students socially and emotionally . School — whether it’s done online, in

person, or a mix of the two — can give students a sense of normalcy.

We can help by incorporating SEL activities in our teaching.

Today, I will be sharing with you some activities to cater the needs of students who wish to communicate their thoughts and feelings,

reconnect with peers and regain their sense of belonging to the class.
