Dear Parents and Guardians,

    On September 27th I will start working with the 6th grade class during advisory.  I will be facilitating an 12 week social skills curriculum based on a crisis prevention safety model.  This will be informative and fun for students.  

We will cover the following topics:
    *Behavioral levels-How to monitor ourselves and others.
    *Personal Space-Body Language.
    *Paraverbal Communication (Tone, Volume and Cadence).
    *Defensive Behaviors- How these can lead to consequences.
    *Keys to setting limits with peers.
    *Empathic Listening-Reflective Listening.
    *Fear and Anxiety.

    On September 27th I will start working with the 5th grade on a weekly basis.  I will be facilitating a 12 week violence prevention curriculum called Second Step. 

We will cover the following topics:
Empathy Training through Active Listening.
Accepting Differences and Expressing Concern.
Predicting feelings, physical and verbal cues and Cause/Effect.
Interpersonal Problem Solving.
Expression Concern, intentions and kindness.

    This will offer language and support which is crucial to social learning.  I look forward to hearing ideas, insights and examples from your student.  If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.  As always thanks for your support!
