SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL)
WHAT IS SEL?
​
Watch this short clip to understand how SEL can impact your children's developmental growth
At Ka'ala Elementary School, SEL lessons are implemented across all grade levels through the Second Step curriculum. These lessons teach students four main components such as skills of learning, empathy, emotional management, and problem solving. We are making available to you the Second Step family letters for all grade levels, which allow families to create an account on Second Step and have access to students grade appropriate lessons, home links, and additional resources.
​
Also, we understand these are difficult times for your 'ohana. Therefore, we have provided resources such as websites, activities/games, and songs should you need additional support during this time.
