Social-Emotional-Learning-Behavior Skills:
We integrate social-emotional-learning-behavior skills throughout our daily routines, but we also focus on a new social skill each week through video modeling, teacher modeling, peer role playing, literature, and personal experiences. The intention of focusing on specific social-emotional-learning-behavior skills is to assist students with generalizing these behaviors and appropriate interactions to their own personal experiences and self-regulation. The skills we will focus on include but are not limited to: Being a kind friend; using personal space; asking for help; understanding feelings/emotions; starting a conversation with friends; being a respectful listener; greetings and goodbyes. Playing appropriately with friends: Sharing, taking turns, not interrupting, waiting our turn. We use Conscious Discipline; STAR Curriculum; “Zones of Regulation”; Social Thinking.
