Articles on Social Emotional Learning
In our classroom we talk a lot about the importance of leaning on God through prayer when challenges (and celebrations) arise in our lives. God gives us these challenges and celebrations as a reminder of our need for him and his love for us. We also discuss that there additional strategies that we can combine with pray to help us through different emotions.
