Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic catapulted K-12 schools into online learning. With risks of isolation that can be persistent in these online learning environments, teachers of early learners (preschool-Grade 2) became very concerned about how they would be able to meet the unique social-emotional needs of their children. The purpose of this chapter is to share practical strategies and tools for integrating mindful social-emotional learning into the online lower elementary classroom. After reviewing the literature on the topic, the author, who taught second grade solely online for over a year during the pandemic, provides personal examples from herself and colleagues demonstrating concrete ways to help students to build community, develop social relationships, grow in emotional awareness, and engage playfully with their peers. There will also be suggestions on how to connect with families and a final call to action for teachers to develop their own social-emotional skills.
