2nd Step Mondays

We use the program 2nd step school wide at Riverton. This year in Kindergarten we are doing our lessons together as a whole grade level every Monday in the Large Learning Center.

This week our lesson focused on Following Directions. We played a game called Follow, Follow and used our attent-o-scope to focus our attention on the speaker.

In the scenario card a child didn't know what to do when it was work time because he had not focused his attention on his teacher. We noticed that he may feel worried, sad, or confused while he was sitting at his table. We then brainstormed that he could ask the student next to him what to do or ask his teacher.  It's also helpful to repeat the directions to yourself to help you remember.

Ask your child if they can sing our Learner Song. "Eyes are watching, ears are listening, voice is quiet, body's calm. This is how we listen, this is how we listen, at group time, at group time."
