Centers, owls and coping skills

We were excited to use some new Centers this week - we tried out a house center, a pirate center and a RV/camping center. They sure were fun!

We have been working hard on learning our coping skills - every single student has increased the number of coping skills they are able to name. Now, we are really focusing on using those coping skills while we are in the yellow zone (feeling frustrated, confused, upset) so that we stay out of the red zone (yelling, throwing, big anger). We are learning that the red zone is usually where a check mark or consequence will occur, so we are beginning to be more motivated to get back to green!

This was our big owl week in science and on Friday we dissected owl pellets. 

Two boys from our room were given PBIS slips for their great behavior on the bus ride home!
