In this session we will review the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) program recently adopted by Newark Public Schools to help support the social emotional well-being of our school communities. In this session, families will learn about the foundations of Social Emotional Learning and how they relate to everyday successes, both academically and socially. Families will get tips and strategies for helping navigate their own social emotional well-being and learn about the SEL resources available for their students. The goal is to help families understand ways to help themselves and their children navigate life stressors to support social emotional wellness.
Parents will be guided on how to support their children in building Phonics skills and understanding words and their meanings through Read-Alouds.

This session will help parents understand how to help their child with mathematical operations (multiplication, addition, subtraction, and division). Mathematics is not taught the way that most learned, i.e. a set of procedures versus learning mathematics conceptually. The objective of this session is to help parents understand both the how and why mathematics is taught differently and to learn how to help their child by learning mathematics conceptually themselves.
