Abstract

The effects of social emotional learning (SEL) can positively affect the mental health of elementary school students. SEL helps students gain knowledge and skills that will help them be successful in life. All SEL skills play a role in how the child succeeds in class, at home, and in life in general. Through the use of literature review, surveys of kindergarteners, second and third graders, and teachers, the result findings indicated that the majority of students use the SEL skills taught in class. However, as for kindergarteners, even though they may be too young to fully understand SEL, but through their responses, they have a grasp on what makes them happy when they could serve as how to be a good peer to their classmates. SEL helps the student be a better listener as well as learner, and be more open to what works and what doesn’t work.
