Second Step Lessons

We are still working to brainstorm our classroom rules. These should be finished on Monday.

Today we had our first Second Step Lesson. The description of the program is directly from their website-

The new SECOND STEP lessons for Kindergarten and Grade 1 begin with Skills for Learning and Listening Rules, which set the stage for future academic success and later lessons on identifying feelings, managing strong emotions, solving problems, and getting along with others.

Activities, Brain Builder games, and partner work keep children engaged and help them practice their skills. Puppy and Snail puppets, now in both grades, encourage children's participation, and Be-Calm Bunny helps kindergartners wait for their turn to speak.

We practiced these rules for Second Step. Eyes Watching, Ears Listening, Mouths Quiet, Bodies Still and Raise Your Hand.
