Celebrating Social-Emotional Learning

BRIDGEPORT—World Social-Emotional Learning Day is March 26, and the Catholic Academy of Bridgeport is celebrating the event with specially planned activities.

This morning, March 25, Pre-K-3rd grade students had a special Zoom with award-winning children’s musician and yoga and mindfulness expert Kira Willey, who read from her books Breathe Like A Bear and Peaceful Like A Panda. She also taught students new mindfulness techniques and participated in a Q&A. Everyone who participated in the Zoom will receive one of Willey’s books.

On March 26, older students in grades 4-8 will Zoom with mindfulness expert Missy Brown, founder of “Deep Play for Kids,” who will teach SEL techniques and coping strategies. These students will receive the book All Because You Matter.

The Catholic Academy of Bridgeport is especially grateful to the Tauck Family Foundation for helping to make all of this possible!

The Catholic Academy of Bridgeport provides a Christ-centered, academically rigorous learning environment where cultural diversity is welcomed, Catholic values taught and all faiths celebrated. Students are nurtured, encouraged and challenged in preparation for a successful life of leadership and service.
