Next Week in Second Step:
Remembering the word “step,” S-T-E-P, will help you remember the Second Step Problem-Solving Steps. Last week we were focusing on the S step, S: Say the Problem. This week we’ll focus on the T step, T: Think of Solutions. Solutions help you solve the problem. They’re ideas about what you could do. Your solutions must always be safe and respectful. This week, if you have a problem, remember to say the problem and then think of solutions!
Dinner Table Conversation Starters:
- Do you think you can learn anything, with enough practice?
- Did anything make you think hard today?
- Did anything you learned today surprise you?
- Who is or was your favorite teacher? Why?
- What do you like best about school?

3rd Mile Run March 6 & 7 or 8 & 9 (weather permitted)
End of Year Mile Run May 12 during each grade level's start of specials.
Thank you,
