This month's theme: LEADERSHIP (L.I.V.E. matrix)


The values of  L E A D E R S H I P  (according to the poster)

  • use positive language, cooperate and use manners
  • be inclusive
  • keep our school clean
  • listen while others are talking
  • make healthy choices
  • pick up litter
  • appreciate and focus on presentations
  • ask appropriate/respectful questions

This site has short, easy and direct teaching lessons to teach the social skills we want to teach this month and beyond.  It is broken down into columns - Prerequisite (skills) and then Skills in the classroom, with peers and then adults. Many of the lessons start with some role playing and then discussion, while others have a small art activity or reflection component.
