2nd Step

Kindergarten is not only a big year for academic growth in children but a huge leap in social emotional development too.  Students come in with a variety of social experiences and are quickly immersed in a world of structure, procedures, fun, academics and negotiation.  Our class uses a curriculum called 2nd Step.  This program systematically helps students build social skills starting at the foundation, making friends, understating accidents, to more complex skills like self regulation, negotiating in play and many others.   Mr. Meyers joins our classroom almost every Wednesday as a celebrity teacher to support our class in this curriculum.  Ask your child about Impulsive Puppy and Be Calm Bunny.
