2nd Step – Social Emotional Learning Tip of the Week 

Kinder to 2nd grades – Being Assertive is a great way for students to show ownership in their learning.   Being Assertive means to:
1. Face the person you’re talking to
2.  Keep your head up and shoulders back.
3. Use a calm, firm voice.
4. Use respectful words.

3rd – 5th grades – Making a plan to complete work or meet a goal can help students to better learners and to earn more Dojo points for showing ownership in the classroom. A plan is good if …
1.  The order makes sense
2.  it’s simple,
3.  And you can do it.
