As in previous years, we will spend each month of the school year focusing on a positive characteristic. This program is also a part of our new Anti-Bullying Campaign to proactively teach students how to be good citizens. For September, we will be focusing on self-control. After a long summer of activities and fun, it can be hard for some students to get back into the routine and constantly demonstrate the self-control that is required of them in the classroom. This, however, is an important life skill that is required of all of us every day.
To focus on self-control, teachers will read Katie Loves Kittens (K-2) or What Were You Thinking? (3-5). Both books focus on various aspects of self-control. Teachers will follow up these stories with discussion questions and activities to ensure students fully understand the concept of self-control and how they can demonstrate it. To extend this concept at home, try having a dinner table conversation about times at home when self-control is required and what things your child does to maintain self-control. How can these skills be transferred to the classroom, cafeteria, or playground? |
