Next Week in Second Step:
This month, our schoolwide theme is problem solving. In our morning announcements and school assembly we’ll be reminding students to use the Second Step Problem-Solving Steps:
S: Say the problem
T: Think of solutions
E: Explore consequences
P: Pick the best solution
As you can see, the first letter of each step spells the word ”step.” Remembering “step” helps students solve problems with each other in safe and respectful ways.
Second Step lessons specifically teach students to use each step and reinforce the message that solutions need to be safe and respectful. You will be receiving Home Links about the steps that describe why solving problems is important and including fun activities to do with your child to help him or her learn and practice the steps. We hope the steps will be helpful for you and your child when there are problems at home.
Dinner Table Conversation Starters:
- Is being a millionaire a worthwhile goal?
- What does it mean to be a good citizen?
- Is it important to vote?
- What do you think about taxes? Is it a good idea that everyone chips in to pay for schools and libraries and parks and roads?
- Are there any lessons that we can learn from history that you think are super-important?
