“通过社交情感学习，我们逐步培养有助于孩子们茁壮成长的技能，这些技能为他们的未来奠定坚实的基础。”
Through our SEL program in CBS Foundation, we are building skills that will help young learners thrive, setting a strong foundation for their future.
十月，我们强调了两个重要的 SEL 主题：自我意识和乐于助人。自我意识帮助孩子们认识和了解自己的情绪、想法和行为。例如，当幼儿在一项具有挑战性的活动中感到沮丧时，他们会开始学习如何识别这种情绪，并找到平静下来的方法，如深呼吸。这种自我意识的发展为情绪复原力和积极决策奠定了基础。
In October, we emphasized two important SEL themes: self-awareness and helpfulness. Self-awareness helps students recognize and understand their own emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. For instance, when a young child feels frustrated during a challenging activity, they begin to learn how to identify that emotion and find ways to calm down, such as taking deep breaths. This development of self-awareness lays the groundwork for emotional resilience and positive decision-making.
乐于助人是本月另一个关键主题，我们鼓励孩子们通过小小的善举相互支持——无论是分享玩具、帮助朋友整理材料，还是安慰心情不好的同学。这些日常行为有助于营造一个充满关爱和支持的课堂环境。
Helpfulness was another key theme, as children were encouraged to support one another through small acts of kindness—whether it was sharing toys, helping a friend put away materials, or comforting a classmate who was feeling upset. These daily acts contribute to a caring and supportive classroom environment.
整个十月，学生们参加了各种旨在强化社交情感学习主题的活动。这些活动包括：
Throughout October, students participated in various SEL activities designed to reinforce our themes. These included:
有助于自我调节和压力管理的正念呼吸和放松技巧。
Mindful breathing and relaxation techniques to support self-regulation and stress management.
小组协作活动，加强社会联系和团队合作。
Collaborative group activities that strengthened social connections and teamwork.
伸出援助之手活动：我们鼓励孩子们分享他们是如何帮助朋友或老师的，以此强调乐于助人的行为。
Helping Hands Activities: We highlighted acts of helpfulness by encouraging children to share how they assisted a friend or teacher.
这些活动有助于将社交情感学习融入日常生活，并为学生提供了一个可以练习重要生活技能的机会。
These activities help integrate SEL into daily routines and provide opportunities for students to practice important life skills.
我们知道，营养是每个儿童身体和情感发展的重要组成部分。对于 3-6 岁的儿童来说，均衡的饮食有助于他们的成长和健康。提供各种食物，如水果、蔬菜、蛋白质、全谷物和奶制品，有助于他们获得保持健康和活力所需的营养。
We know that nutrition is a vital part of every child’s physical and emotional development. For children aged 3-6, a balanced diet supports their growth and wellbeing. Providing a variety of foods—such as fruits, vegetables, proteins, whole grains, and dairy—helps them get the nutrients they need to stay healthy and energized.
所以，保持一致的进餐时间和共享家庭用餐也是相当有益的。为此，我们将10月社会情感学习月刊带回家与家长分享，其中强调了营养的重要性。这可以鼓励大家培养健康的饮食习惯，并加强家庭纽带。并且，用餐时间是孩子们分享一天的生活和进行情感交流的宝贵机会。
In support of this, we sent home the SEL newsletter of the month, which explained the role of nutrition. Maintaining consistent meal schedules and sharing family meals is also beneficial, as it reinforces routines, encourages healthy eating habits, and strengthens family bonds. Mealtime can be a valuable opportunity for children to share about their day and connect emotionally.
在学院集会上，我们很荣幸地表彰本月在乐于助人方面表现出色的学生。这些学生坚持不懈地帮助整理教室，在吃完点心后把桌子收拾得干干净净，在需要的时候帮助他人，并在自己的班级里展现友善的行为。祝贺我们所有的“本月之星”，他们树立了积极的榜样！
We are proud to recognize students from different classes who demonstrated outstanding SEL skills in helpfulness last month. These students consistently helped tidying up the classroom, having a clean table after snack, helped others when needed and were kind to their classroom. Congratulations to all our SEL Stars for setting a positive example!
感谢您一如既往地支持我们培养青少年学生的社交情感和健康福祉。让我们携手为学生的终身发展奠定基础！
