Second Step: Problem-Solving

First graders are learning about effective problem-solving through our social emotional learning program, Second Step. There are two main goals for this unit. The first is to develop students' ability to solve problems in safe and respectful ways. The second is to develop students' skills for making and keeping friends. Your child has been introduced to the problem-solving process.  Last week, hey learned and practiced the first two steps in the process, S: Say the problem , and T: Think of Solutions.  This week, they learned and practiced the last two steps, E: Explore consequences and, P: Pick the best solutions.
