Social Emotional Learning

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through
which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities,
manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain
supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions. The SEL framework addresses five broad and
interrelated areas of competence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship
skills, and responsible decision-making. These skills can be taught and applied at various developmental stages from
childhood to adulthood.
.
Class Comment

The term began with Safety Workshop, that included Self Awareness and Self-Management topics such as
being aware of our as well as others emotions, knowing what is safe and unsafe and seeking help from
our circle of trust when we feel unsafe/uncomfortable. Their decision making skills were exercised upon
by giving them various situations to ponder and give their opinions about the same. Further ahead,
Relationship skills were included by doing rapport building activities (Throwing the imaginary ball, Mystery
person) to familiarize themselves with each other in class. Good listening and attending skills were
practiced with the help of social stories and activities that enhances Self-Management skills. They also
engage in talent show every session where they get the opportunity to display their talents confidently. In
Self-Awareness, topics such as “my likes and dislikes”, “I am special” were done to know and accept
themselves better.
 Music

Music can be analysed by considering a variety of its elements, or parts (aspects, characteristics, features), individually
or together. So, children are encouraged to learn elements of music which they can apply while singing and playing any
instrument. This term for our online and offline classes, students explored the elements of music namely Tempo and
Beat. Children understood Tempo that is fast and slow by an experiment which was done in one of the music classes
using handmade instruments. To demonstrate Beat, students engaged in clapping and coordinating their body
movements with songs. Through that gross motor skills are developed. They indirectly learn multi-tasking in the
keyboard class, synchronizing hands and fingers with the eyes controlled by the nervous system to play an
exercise/song. Different props like Shakers, sticks were used and made the sessions interactive and engaging.

Individual Music Comment

Aryan is attentive in class and takes part in all activities fairly enthusiastically. He is able to listen to music
and generally recognize Tempo - fast and slow. To mention a few songs that the children have learnt this
term are “I can follow the rules”, “Interrupting song” “Count on me”,” Outside and inside voice”,” Try
everything”.

Keyboard: Aryan usually maintains the correct finger position while playing the keyboard. He is able to
sight read whole note half note and quarter note while playing the keyboard with very minimal teacher
prompt. He is able to play tunes like - Five little monkeys, Waltz, Indian Dance usually independently on
