Now that we have finished up on how to make goals and learning how to be Accountable and Resilient we are now adding to that with How to be a good friend with confidence!

5th grade is working on the Empower You (WHY TRY) Sel curriculum.

4th grade is working on the Botvin Life Skills brogram. 

 What we are talking about in Class!

SELF ESTEEM/Confidence - What is it? What does it look like? HOw do we become it?

Self Esteem is created.  There are steps on how you can create Self Esteem.

1. Make Goals - Goal help up grow and by  accomplishing them we are proud. 

2. Positive Affirmations - When we talk to ourselves in a positive way it can build confidence. 

3. Make a list of Strengths - When challenges approach we can recognize our strengths to help us through them. 

4. MOVE YOUR BODY!  Being active releases endorphins.  These are "feel good" hormones!  

5.  Let go of Mistakes - Have self compassion.  Mistakes and Failures are good!  They help us grow.  We need to learn from them but we need to also be kind to ourselves.  How do you show yourself self compasion?

6. STOP comparing yourself to others - We are all unique.  When we see what we have and are grateful for those things, we become confident.  Comparing is not go! Only compare yourself to you!  How can you be better each day. 

7. Make a list of things that go well! - When we look back on what is helpful and working, we feel good about that!  Keep doing things that are helpful and slowly change the behaviors or other things that are hurtful to you!

REMEMBER! SELF ESTEEM IS CREATED!
