Some of our preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade families recently gathered for an InsideU Adventure, based on understanding social-emotional learning (SEL).
Families learned about a free, web based app, called InsideU, which was created by the Renee Crown Wellness Institute/ University of Colorado Boulder and inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out.
Research shows that children who understand emotional responses do well academically. Families played games, made a Memory Ball, and discussed emotional triggers with their children.
The event was held in multiple sessions on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2024, at Warren G. Harding High School.
Some of the students’ teachers, dressing for their parts, represented various emotions such as sadness, disgust, and joy.
