Peralta Elementary School

Dr. Shirley Clem

460 63rd Street, Oakland

At Peralta we integrate our social-emotional curriculum beginning in kindergarten, allowing students to become skilled problem solvers who take responsibility for keeping our campus peaceful.

​

Examples of integrated social-emotional activities:

• Cross Grade Level Buddies
• Daily Classroom Meetings
• Mindfulness Practices, such as various forms of meditation, yoga
• Calm-Down Stations
• Gathering student feedback, such as through a weekly check-in form, or on daily math worksheets,
• Collaborating to determine our school mascot
• Expressing through art
• Monday morning school-wide assemblies
• Art and Chil, a social hangout on Zoom
• Drumming

​

Peralta’s community includes dedicated parents that help support all students and teachers in any way they can.

Portrait of a Lifelong Learner

Student 1: It’s important for people to compromise when they collaborate, because if they don’t they’ll just be stuck. They’ll leave with those feelings and pass it onto the next person they see.
