Every month, Mrs. DeSantis visits each classroom to teach a lesson from the Second Step Program. The Second Step Program is a research-based, "universal, classroom-based, social-emotional learning curriculum for Kindergarten–Grade 5 that nurtures children’s social-emotional competence and foundational learning skills" (Second Step, 2022). Units explored throughout this program across all grade levels include Skills for Learning, Empathy, Emotion Management, and Problem Solving.
