Today, we had our beloved principal-Ms. Latha in our class for her first SEL lesson. She began the session by asking all the students about their feelings for the new year at the Academy. Then, we had a small session on mindfulness and yoga followed by a book called 'All are welcome' read-aloud online. Thereafter, we went into the breakout rooms to discuss the 'Back to School Manifesto'.
We watched a video on the 'Olympics Games' which led to a discussion on what do the students know about them and what were their observations from the video??
Students were asked to research further about Olympic games. As a follow-up, they were then guided to try this simple game of balancing using cushions. After the game, the students reflected and made connections with balancing themselves physically by eating healthy food, sleeping well, maintaining fitness through exercising, and by staying hydrated. With this, students were introduced to the learner profile attribute- Balanced. We will be reiterating on this while inquiring into our unit.
The students created and discussed our class essential agreements today. We will call this as our 'Norms of Collaboration'. :)
