Hi 4th Graders,

Study Skills has been our topic the past couple of lessons:

· This is an awesome time to look at your work area. Yes, even though you are home and away from school you can still have a work area. Remember the story I told you about Sally who I worked with years and years ago who needed to make some changes to her work space?

We also have had many lessons on Conflict Resolution:

Hi 2nd Graders and Families,

  • We have talked recently about problem solving using STEP! (SAY THE PROBLEM, THINK of SOLUTIONS, EXPLORE consequences, PICK)

  • Listen to The Learner Song and have your student tell you about the skills we have already covered - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viVHBykAyrE

  • Last time we met, we talked about how to use self talk both to ignore distractions and to help us do our best. Listen to The Worst Day of My Life Ever. When RJ is struggling, stop and talk about what positive self-talk he could use to help turn his day around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIT23dyx8-A

  • Let’s start learning about Growth Mindsets. Our brains are always growing and with practice we can get better at many things. Listen to the story Bubble Gum Brain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QByD-EmSr8I
