Our 5 Love Languages Cooking Class enhances children and parent relationships that aids in a healthy lifestyle that fosters the connection in their family unit. Our cooking class mission is to incorporate the 5 love languages to include: Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service and Physical Touch. Children are engaged in identifying their love language that will be acclimated during their culinary cooking experience. We are providing a safe space and platform that engages students to interact with one another and understand themselves as well as their peers and parents while learning a new healthy lifestyle skill.

Our Social-Emotional and Mental Health programming consists of meditation and breathing exercises, anti-bullying, career path opportunities, special events and outings that focus on art, music, sports, entrepreneurship, and college preparation.

At JJE we use the SEL framework, known to many as the “CASEL wheel,” helps cultivate skills and environments that advance students’ learning and development.

School, districts, states, and others use CASEL’s Framework to:

• Foster knowledge, skills, and attitudes across five areas of social and emotional competence.
•  Establish equitable learning environments and coordinate practices across four key settings that support students’ social, emotional, and academic development.

This framework provides a foundation for communities to use evidence based SEL strategies in ways that are most meaningful to their local context. It can be applied to many different priorities and aligned with each community’s strengths, needs, and cultures.

Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.

SEL advances educational equity and excellence through authentic school-family-community partnerships to establish learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships, rigorous and meaningful curriculum and instruction, and ongoing evaluation. SEL can help address various forms of inequity and empower young people and adults to co-create thriving schools and contribute to safe, healthy, and just communities.
