SOCIAL EMOTIONAL CORNER
KINDNESS, POSITIVE ACTS, MAKING MISTAKES, POSITIVE RISKS
❥ Write down acts of kindness on slips of paper and put in a container. At the end of each week, celebrate the acts of kindness.
❥ Smiles are contagious! See how many people you can make smile just by smiling at them.
❥ Think about a mistake that you have made and what you have learned from it. Share with your loved ones and ask them to share an example from their lives with you.
❥ In life there are things that may make us nervous or scared. It could be talking in front of the class, trying out for a team, or learning something new. These are times that we take positive risks and grow our self esteem by giving it a try. Is there a time in your life where you took a positive risk?
