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
