This week we've been working on a couple of important concepts:
1. Students discussed a variety of strategies for solving a disagreement during "games" time in class. They decided using "Paper, Scissors, Rock" would be a great solution, or trying one partner's idea for the first few rounds and then trying the other partner's idea.
At home, if you notice your child solving a disagreement with fairness and logic, please reinforce the behavior with praise and acknowledgment! (Ex. Brother and sister are arguing about who should take the first turn and your child suggests "Paper, Scissors, Rock.")
2. Mrs. Jacobson also came in our classroom and taught students the importance of having empathy, and accepting that others may think differently than each other. We will continue to build and reinforce this concept.
At home if you notice your child accepting and appreciating others' differences, please reinforce the concept by saying, "I noticed how you accepted..."
