On Thursday, March 23th, 2023, the theme is ¨Me and My Colors¨. Students describe how they are feeling at the moment, through the colors they choose. Red for anger, blue for sad, yellow for happy, green for lazy and sleepy, pink for feeling loved, purple for great feelings, and black for afraid. They can colors their paper with some colors based on their feelings.
For the last day of SEL, on Friday, students make a hand painting with friends at the field.
