Kindergarten

The School Counseling Program at Michael Anderson uses Second Step to teach critical social-emotional skills to all Kindergarten students. Yearly content areas from the curriculum include 1) Skills for Learning, 2) Empathy, 3) Emotion Management, and 4) Problem Solving. Although the lessons are taught in the classroom, your student(s) will benefit from your help this year too! I would love for you to follow along with what I am teaching in the classroom. All parents/guardians are encouraged to sign up at www.secondstep.org using the activation key SSPK FAMI LY70. Our weekly lessons will not follow the scheduled lessons available to you on the website, and specific classes may be ahead or behind others throughout the school year, but all classes will make it through the curriculum by the end of May. Students will also engage in additional lessons focused on anti-bullying and a "book break" and team-building lesson following the conclusion of each content area. 

If you have any questions about the Second Step program, please do not hesitate to contact me for more information. Thank you for supporting your child in learning these skills that lead to success in school and in life.
