Schubert Books

As mentioned in a previous post (in the old blog) the class has been reading the Schubert series. The books are about teaching children how to deal with their own emotions and conflicts. Some of the strategies we are already using are the calming strategies (the balloon, the drain, the star, the pretzel). Students are also using the safe place when they are upset, tired or need to calm down.

This week we have been going over being helpful. The students and teachers have come up with a list of helpful things that students can do to keep our classroom safe. Keeping everyone in the classroom safe is everyone's job and being helpful is part of being safe.

The two books we have read in class can also be found at the following link. I have narrated them so children can listen to the stories if they so choose.
