Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is crucial for fostering a supportive and empathetic classroom environment. Here are some tips for integrating SEL into your Mandarin Chinese dual language and immersion programs:

2. Incorporate SEL into Daily Routines:

Start your day with a morning meeting where students can share their feelings and set positive intentions for the day. You can use feeling cards with pictures to help young Chinese learners identify their emotions and express themselves.

A calm-down corner is another MUST-HAVE in your Chinese immersion elementary classroom. The charts provide students with effective calm-down techniques and engaging mindfulness exercises. Students can visit the calm-down corner to manage their stress and calm themselves down through various activities.

By integrating these bilingual SEL strategies into your Chinese programs, you can help students navigate their emotions, build positive relationships, and develop crucial self-regulation skills in their Chinese learning journey.
