2nd Step Social Emotional Learning Tip of the Week
Kinder-1st and grades 4-5th
Continue to work with your children to hone self-management skills by managing their emotions. Remind students to 1) Stop 2) Name their feelings and 3) Calm Down.
Calm Down Strategy: Using positive self –talk. What we say to ourselves can change the way we feel. If we say positive or good things to ourselves, we are likely to feel better.
- “I can do it”
- “I can try again”
- “If I don’t understand, I can ask for help”
Reinforce this at home by noticing when your student calms down and asking what positive self talk they used to calm down.
Parent Script: “Jordana, I saw you looking frustrated as you wrote your numbers but then you calmed down. What did you say to yourself to calm down?”
Special 2nd step lesson for 2nd-3rd graders this week on how they have power
- to stand up to bullying
- to support others by showing acceptance
- to help others feel included.
You can implement this at home by noticing when students are inclusive of others.
Parent Script: “Tad, I noticed you invited Zaida to join your group when you saw she was left out. That was a kind and respectful thing to do.”
