SEL and Online Support

There are a number of resources that can help support families and staff at this time with social-emotional learning (SEL).  To help support families with a variety of issues, the BC government has developed ERASE=Expect Respect and a Safe Education.  Although this resource has been available for some time, there is some additional support for the stress and anxiety that COVID-19 has created.

There are also a number of resources available online that might be useful to help families process at this time.  Here are some read alouds about about feelings (Crocodiles Need Kisses Too is read by the illustrator Penelope Dullaghan) and stress (here is Todd Parr reading his The Don’t Worry Book).  There are a number of children’s stories about the coronovirus and even a COVID-19 time capsule that you can complete together by Long Creations.
