Kindergartners learned the difference between water bottle responses and soda can reactions. We also discussed different ways to solve friendship problems.
First grade learned about clay and rock problems. Clay problems you can fix and rock problems you learn to cope with.
Second grade learned about pause, think, and choose so you can respond like a water bottle instead of reacting like a soda can. We brainstormed and practice several things to do when you pause and think. For example, counting to ten, deep breaths, dots, squeezies, heart to home, and push pull dangle.
Third grade did a Be Proactive Scoot, practiced identifying the difference between proactive and reactive situations, and demonstrated making proactive decisions.
Four grade learned about the Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence. We discussed proactively being able to affect change by spending your energy in your Circle of Influence.
