Every Friday Division 9 & 10 get together to work on Second Step. Second Step is a program that teaches children skills for social and academic success.

Our topic is:  Emotional Management.

This weeks lesson:  We feel feelings in our bodies

Lesson Concepts:

• You can use physical clues in your body to identify your feelings.
• All your feelings are natural.
• It is important to talk to a grown up when you feel worried.

Today you will learn how to figure out how you are feeling. You don’t go to the mirror and look at your face. What you do instead, is become a detective and look for clues.

You focus your attention on how your body feels, that is one clue.

You can also think about your situation, that is another clue.

Feeling worried is uncomfortable. It can make your tummy hurt and your heart beat fast. When you’re worried, it is important to talk to a grown up.

Think, turn, tell: Tell your grown up about a time that you felt worried.  Remember everyone feels worried sometimes.

Remember to go to Ms. Quin’s Blog for week two music and movement activities.

A community is a place where people live, work and play.

We are citizens of a community.  A citizen is a person who lives in a community and has certain rights and responsibilities.

Rights are things that you deserve, such as food, water and healthcare.  Children also have the right to a safe and happy life.

Responsibilities are things that you are expected to do, such as being respectful, helping others, sharing and taking care of yourself.

Listen to What Can a Citizen Do?  by Dave Eggers and Shawn Harris.  This book is about what it means to be a citizen and how you can make the world a better place.

As a Citizen, what can you do?

Think of ways to help others.  Complete the activity.  Please get your grown-up to send it to me.
