Social Work News!
Your student(s) just completed their sixth lesson of Second Step. Second Step is the district wide SEL (Social Emotional Learning) curriculum that we use in Harvard. Our fourth graders had a lesson about understanding different perspectives so they can consider another person's point of view and avoid unnecessary conflicts. Our fifth graders had a lesson about accepting differences. Their lesson taught them about prejudice and the importance of looking past differences to find similarities so they can build better relationships. We hope everyone enjoys the last weekend of October.
-Mr. Jason & Mrs. Julie
