Classroom Lessons

I visit each of the classrooms once every two weeks and provide a 25 minute lesson primarily using the Second Step curriculum.  The Second Step program can take students from preschool all the way through middle school. Each grade level features developmentally appropriate ways to teach core social-emotional skills such as empathy, emotion management, and problem solving.  To learn more about Second Step or to utilize their parent resources, click on the following link:

Topics from Second Step will be covered as well as suggestions from teachers (tattling, safety and kindness).
