Monthly Lesson Topics

January:

Best Self

• The objective is that students will be able to come up with qualities that they think, make them their "best self". The goal is, that when students run into hard times, they can think about their best self and what they need to do to get back to that.

December: 

Impulse Control or Kindness 

• Teachers were able to choose which topic their students needed most. Impulse control centered around what impulse control is, and strategies to manage impulses. Kindness was about using kind words and writing a kind note to someone. Students were challenged to do a kind act everyday in the month of December. 

November:

Resiliency

• Students learned what things they could control and what things they couldn't control. Then, we talked about that everyone has problems and that as students, they get to decide if they are going to bounce, or splat. Bouncing back means that they don't let the problem keep them down. They problem solve and move on. Going splat means that they get stuck in their emotions.
