Curriculum

In our First Grade Character Education classes, we will be using the Second Step curriculum. This curriculum teaches skills in four areas:

Skills for Learning
Empathy
Emotion Management
Problem Solving

We play games, listen to stories, watch music videos, hear from our puppet friends Bella and Mr. Snail, complete worksheets, and sometimes we have Homelinks, which are short homework sheets meant to be completed with a grown up.

You can create a parent/guardian account by going to the website and using the activation key:

SSP1 FAMI LY71

If you created one for kindergarten last year, this one is a little different. You can have more than one grade level associated with your account if you have more than one student!
