Hello Green Tree families, Please see the updates and reminders below: Second Step After this week finishes reinforcing the skills related to empathy, we will begin working on practicing our steps to problem solving through the month of May. I will be reminding students of the following STEPS in my weekly video uploaded to Facebook and in google classrooms to give students optional challenges to participate in at home: S: Say the problem T: Think of solutions E: Explore consequences P: Pick the best solution As you can see, the first letter of each step spells the word ”step.” Remembering “step” helps students solve problems with each other in safe and respectful ways. Second Step lessons specifically teach students to use each step and reinforce the message that solutions need to be safe and respectful. We hope the steps will be helpful for you and your child when there are problems at home. Counselor Connection To support the steps for problem solving, please see
