As we have been learning about how to be expected, we also learned how that makes others feel (and think) about us. The Social Detective book continued to teach us what that looks, sounds, and feels like. When we act expected our bodies are calm, our voices are calm and kind and our faces appear happy and calm. The cartoons showed how acting that way for one character made the other characters have good, positive thoughts about her. After reading that section I inserted each child's name and we talked about how great that would feel to have classmates and friends have those same thoughts about them. It made each child smile to imagine other kids saying those kind thoughts about them.
As we prepare for report cards I also assessed some of the line items. One of the days we had a game day as I pulled kids to work with. The kids from Mrs. Gerber's class came over again and played. Next week, we will continue our work as Social Detectives!
