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.
