2nd Step Social Emotional Learning Tip of the Week!
K-2nd graders continue to learn about feelings – their own and others (interested, surprised, afraid and scared). At home continue to identify and name feelings with your child by using physical clues like last week.
1st graders are learning about reporting bullying. Ask your child, “what should you do when bullying happens to you or to someone else?” Second Step answer: Report it to a caring adult.
3rd graders are learning about perspectives. People can have different feelings about the same situation, and their feelings can change. Empathy is feeling or understanding what someone else is feeling. Thinking about others’ perspectives helps you have empathy for them. Practice at home:
- Model acknowledging same and different feelings and perspectives.
- Remind your child to think about how others’ perspectives might be different from theirs.
- Have your child REFLECT on times others had different feelings or feelings changed.
4th and 5th grade are learning about how to be a prevent Cyber Bullying. Practice at home:
- NOTICE when students show respectful behavior online.
- REINFORCE the behavior with specific feedback: Hannah, I saw you posted a helpful note on the class blog. Helping other students online is respectful and responsible.
- MODEL positive and respectful online communication.
- Remind students to be respectful when communicating online. Have students REFLECT on a time when they communicated respectfully online.
