Social Emotional Learning March 18th - March 22nd
Kindergarten:
Summary:
In this week’s lesson, your child will show what they’ve learned about kindness and the power of kind acts to help people feel good. They’ll draw themselves doing a kind act for someone at school.
Try This at Home
Ask your child to show or tell you about their drawing of doing a kind act for someone at school. Encourage them to draw a picture of themselves doing a kind act at home too.
First Grade:
Summary:
In this week’s lesson, your child will show what they’ve learned about kind acts as they role-play doing kind acts for others in a variety of contexts.
Try This at Home:
Choose a day of the week (for example, Wednesdays) as “kindness day.” Help your child think of kind acts they can do for family members, friends, or neighbors. Write the kind acts on the calendar for the next several weeks.
Second Grade:
Summary:
In this week’s lesson, your child will use empathy to come up with a kind act they could do for a person in their school community.
Try This at Home:
Ask your child what member of their school community they had empathy for and what kind act they chose to do for that person.
Third Grade:
Summary:
In this week’s lesson, your child will understand that it is important to think about the words we use, because everyone interprets things differently. They will identify ways to respond to the mean words online using S-T-O-P and will learn how to decide what kinds of statements are OK to say online and which are not.
Try This at Home:
Discuss with your child how they would use the S-T-O-P method if someone online was using mean words. Discuss with your child how words can be misinterpreted when said online and the importance of always using nice words.
Fourth Grade:
Summary:
In this week’s lesson, your child will learn about questions they can ask to rethink situations and they’ll practice asking these questions using made-up stories.
Try This at Home:
Ask your child, “What questions could you ask yourself to rethink a situation?” (Questions might include, “What happened?” “Has this ever happened to anyone else?” and “What’s something good that happened?”) Talk about how those questions can help them think differently about a situation.
