Social Emotional Learning
Middle school students were involved with a workshop, provided by the WE Organization in partnership with Unilever that involved the integration of a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which were adopted by the United Nations in September 2015. After completing several interactive activities, the students chose to focus on #6-Clean Water and Sanitation. Their plan is to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all through various events. During the SEL workop, students were learning about the best ways to fundraise and take action to make changes locally and globally. This workshop allowed students to understand the process, responsabilities and leadership skills. The SEL students have started to develop an plan to fundraise money to help increase access to clean water. |

They listened to the text, "The Picture Book of Abraham Lincoln" and watched an educational video to learn extraordinary facts. Afterwards, the class created a terrific Thinking Map: Circle Map to define facts about the 16th President. Finally, the boys and girls engaged in a wonderful craftivity and created an Abe look-alike hat by writing two fascinating facts! They even made their very own Abe Lincoln beard! President Lincoln is hailed as the greatest president of all times, Abraham Lincoln was a strong Presidential leader who is known for his honest ways. He was President during one of the worst wars in American history and was a great leader for our military. Abraham Lincoln helped to abolish slavery.
