At CJDS, Social - Emotional learning is an important part of the whole school experience. From our youngest learners through our older students, we intentionally teach the skills that help children understand themselves, navigate relationships, manage big feelings, and handle life‘s challenges. It’s one of the things that makes our school community so special. ✨
And in kindergarten, SEL can look pretty simple - and pretty sweet. 🥰
favorite tradition in kindergarten is reading, Junie B Jones - a lovable character who experiences many of the same friendships, feelings, challenges, and everyday adventures that our kindergartners experience themselves. In the chapter we read today, Junie B was afraid of the dark when it was time to go to sleep.
After reading, we turned to the story into an SEL conversation about fear and the strategies we can use when we feel scared at bedtime. Our kindergartners shared what helps them feel safe and comfortable when those nighttime worries creep in.💛🧸
.
This is what SEL looks like at CJDS: taking everyday moments and turning them into opportunities to build skills that children can carry with them far beyond the classroom.

🪄 What a magical day in middle school today! Sixth graders participated in a Harry Potter inspired murder mystery event! Using murder mystery activities in middle school helps students build critical thinking, reading comprehension, communication and social-emotional skills. Who done it?! Ask your child who was the guilty character, and who solved the mystery! ⭐️

🤔 What type of soil is most commonly found in NC? Can you tell the difference between loamy soil and peaty soil? 🧐
🤗 CJDS 4th graders know soil! In science, students are learning about the six main types of soil, classified primarily by the size and proportion of their mineral particles.
🌱 What is the best soil for plantings in NC? Post your guess below!
