Social Skills

Since the beginning of the year we have been working to improve

our social skills.  We have covered the following topics:

1.  Listening

2.  Following Directions

3.  Interupting

4. Using a friendly voice

5. Asking for help

For each topic we read a story, talk about why that skill

is important, and then practice the skill by acting out 

situations that could occur in the classroom and outside.

The students LOVE doing the acting!!!  

Everyday they ask if they can 'role play'.

The pictures below are from some skits the students thought of 

on their own to illustrate how to follow directions.

The steps for following directions are:

1. Listen

2. Think about it

3. Ask if needed

4. Go!

Doing these skits have made our classroom a friendlier, happier place to learn!

Way to go everyone!
