Class Meetings


The cornerstone of the LE social curriculum is our weekly “class meeting.” The students set the agendas for and hold class meetings, which are used to discuss and solve problems together. No issue is too big or too small to merit the group’s attention. We resolve issues of social exclusion, work out game rules that make everyone feel safe and included, and learn how to speak honestly and openly to each other without projecting blame. These social skills often set them apart from other children their age, as they learn to deal with social and emotional issues with empathy and respect at a very early age.
