Students have been working on re-entering the classroom environment after the extended Covid-19 Closure through “Second Step” Guidance lessons each Monday. On this particular day, the lesson was entitled “Let’s Talk”. Students were given 3 sticky notes and were instructed to write down the following:
“I’m Excited About…
“I’m Worried About…
“I’m Wondering…
Students then took turns putting their sticky notes under the correct category. Through this activity – students were able to see that they were excited and worried about a lot of the same things and that they had a lot of the same questions. Students were reminded that the new rules and routines were meant to keep them safe and healthy and that they could always talk to a trusted adult about any of their concerns.
