Social-Emotional Class wide Intervention Program
Social and emotional well-being is important to children. Skills such as listening, sharing, helping, and emotional control enable children to get along with others. These skills can be taught. With practice, they can become a normal part of a child’s behavior.
Social-emotional skills also play an important role in improving academic skills. In fact, experts often refer to social-emotional skills as academic enablers! Classrooms are a great place to teach social-emotional skills. They provide many opportunities to practice skills during daily interactions with others.
During the next 5 weeks, students in the kindergarten through 9th grade classrooms will be working to improve their social emotional skills. We will be using a program called the SSIS SEL Edition Classwide Intervention Program (CIP). It provides an easy way to integrate opportunities to teach core social-emotional skills. Each grade level will be working on 5 different skills. There are a total of 30 skills in the program. The specific skill lessons we will be working on include:
1. Listen to others
2. Say Please and Thank you
3. Follow the Rules
4. Pay Attention to Your Work
5. Ask for Help
6. Take Turns When You Talk
7. Get Along with Others
8. Stay Calm with Others
9. Do the Right Thing
10. Do Nice Things for Others
11. Tell Others About Your Skills
12. Own Your Actions
13. Express Your Feelings
14. Respect Other People’s Things
19. Stand Up for Others
21. Make Compromises
22. Be Positive About the Future
26. Forgive Others
28. Take Criticism Without Getting Upset
30. Make Others Feel Better
This program uses proven instructional methods to build these skills and improve classroom learning. We will learn and practice one skill each week. We will spend a few minutes each day working on these skills.
As a parent or guardian, you play an important role in the development of these skills. Throughout this program, please talk to your child about what he or she is learning during this time. Ask your child to describe the skill taught during the week. Ask how he or she can use the skill at school, home, or in the community. This will help your child remember the steps for each skill. Each student in grades K-9 will be given a letter to take home, indicating the exact skills the class is working on during the 5-week period; please be looking for this letter. Thank you in advance for supporting this program!

Gratitude
The theme for the month of November is Gratitude. Gratitude is being thankful for what we have and showing appreciation for others. Students in grades 3-12 have been invited to participate in a Gratitude Challenge. Students have the opportunity to write letters of appreciation to a variety of people including first responders, various school employees, community members, family members, and even themselves. Students in grades K-2 are identifying people or things they are grateful for, writing them on leaves and posting them on a common bulletin board entitled, “Gratitude Leaves Everyone Smiling.” Quotes about gratitude have been placed all around the school to encourage everyone - students and staff - to be grateful. We encourage you to express your gratitude this month as well. Tell people thank you. Recognize others for the things they have done. Let’s all have an attitude of gratitude!
