This week we continued our work with Social Detective by talking about our toolbox we all have. We all have the tools to process information and do what is expected so others can have good thoughts about us. The kids glued in all the necessary parts we use inside their toolboxes and made a lock for the outside. These will be hung outside the room to display before going home. We started the week by matching the body parts with a child on the worksheet that went home Monday. On Tuesday when I was sick, the kids read, "Words Are Not for Hurting" and completed a worksheet on self-control. Mrs. Szalay worked with the kids on receiving Valentine's to prepare for the coming week. We also watched another Model Me Kids (sometimes the 2nd graders watch these, other times they do not). When we watch them, I send home a recap sheet so you can practice too. The 2nd graders filled out a sheet about when they use their social smarts in school. I treated it as an informal and ungraded test just to see what they have remembered from this unit thus far.
This week the kids will pass out Valentine's if they choose to and will have support if needed. Our program will not have it's own party but we will be spending time in their gen ed classes to pass out cards or for some have a small celebration. Each class/grade is doing something different.
As a reminder, Friday is a half day with dismissal at 12:43. Please pack or have the kids plan on buying a lunch to eat before they leave. Monday I will be traveling to PAL for observations so the kids will have a sub.
Happy Valentine's Day!
