Second Step
We have now gone through all of the lessons in our Second Step program. Next week we will be reviewing the skills we have learned so far. Students will be given the opportunity to reflect on their individual growth and learning. This will help them retain and apply the concepts and skills learned. The more students review and practice, the stronger their skills become.
Some important concepts we have learned this year: Empathy, focused listening, STEP, consequences, choices, belly breathing, positive self talk, name your feeling, and being assertive. Please feel free to ask your child about these concepts and how they can use them at school and home.
