Second Step
Second Step
Second Step is a program rooted in social-emotional learning (SEL) that helps transform schools into supportive, successful learning environments uniquely equipped to help children thrive socially, emotionally, and academically. (secondstep.org)
Second Step lessons and activities are conducted in the classrooms; however, due to our current distance learning approach, Second Step is providing students/families with resources that can be done at home as well.
IF-THEN Plan is a great skill to practice. Give it a try...
If then plans.pdfReflection Activity
We did not imagine our schools would close physically in March. This sudden change in our school year has affected all of us. I hope the following activity can help you process this sudden closure. Take the time to write this letter and save it for your future self.
To our 8th graders, we are thinking of you as your time with us is moving you closer to high school. I know you are prepared and you have the resilience to overcome anything you set your mind to. We have been working with many of you over the last two to three years to build and support your social and emotional development. Use this activity to help you reflect on your middle school years with us. Please contact us if you need support.
Click on the link and adapt the instructions to your home, instead of the classroom. Let me know if you do this and how you felt writing your letter.
