We continue to learn about Executive Functioning skills, our brain's ability to do everyday tasks. Click on the picture for more information around this! 

Skills we have covered: Time Management / Task Initiation and Self Control 

Time Management and Task Initiation: We learned about how long things should take and how to plan ahead to ensure you have enough time. We practiced everyday things we do in the classroom and timed them! It took less than a minute to line up quietly! We also practiced getting started right away and what to do if you don't know how to start or if it feels hard. 

Self- Control

We are learning how to stop, breathe and then make a choice when working through emotions or social conflict. 

We are also learning how to raise our hand during lessons in order to reduce blurting out all of our thoughts in our thought bubble. This can make lessons not as efficient and distracts our brains from learning. 

Students are doing an INCREDIBLE job learning and strengthening their EF skills. The growth since we have started this learning has been remarkable.
