Next week is Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Week at Caswell! But what exactly is SEL?
Social-Emotional Learning focuses on helping students develop five key competencies:
1️⃣ Self-awareness 2️⃣ Self-management 3️⃣ Social awareness 4️⃣ Relationship skills 5️⃣ Responsible decision-making
During SEL Week, we'll be exploring the Zones of Regulation, a framework to help students understand and manage their emotions:
🔵 Monday - Blue Zone: Feeling sad, tired, or sick. We'll be wearing blue to support this zone. Activities include exercise and enjoying blue Gatorade at lunch.
🔴 Tuesday - Red Zone: Feeling angry, nervous, or overwhelmed. We'll be wearing red to acknowledge this zone. Activities include calming coloring at lunch.
🟡 Wednesday - Yellow Zone: Feeling anxious, frustrated, or excited. We'll be wearing yellow to embrace this zone. Activities include yoga and receiving breathing stickers at lunch.
🟢 Thursday - Green Zone: Feeling happy, calm, or focused. We'll be wearing green to celebrate this zone. Activities include listening to music and receiving stickers at lunch.
🏰 On Friday, let's join together for a Disney dress-up day to celebrate learning about our emotions through Pixar's Inside Out!
We’re also excited to share that students from Central Valley High School have created SEL posters for our students to enjoy! Thank you HAWKS!

🐾 Cougar Cash Experiences! 🛍️
At Caswell, we're all about rewarding positive behavior! 🌟 Our students earn Cougar Cash for showing respect, responsibility, and safety. Every Friday, they get to cash in their hard-earned Cougar Cash for some awesome rewards!
They can choose to shop at our Den student store, where they can snag $1 items like school supplies and fun goodies. But the excitement doesn't stop there! 🎉 Our students also have the opportunity to exchange their Cougar Cash for unique experiences with staff members.
From enjoying a McDonald's lunch with Mrs. Marshall and Mr. Maldonado 🍔🥤 to crafting calming jars with Mr. Josh 🌈 and assisting Ms. Norma in the front office 📝, there's something special for everyone!
These experiences not only reward our students but also strengthen our bonds and create lasting memories. We love celebrating our amazing students! 💙 #CougarCash #PositiveBehavior #RewardingSuccess #CaswellCougars 🐾
