Second Step Connections

I use the Second Step Curriculum in all of my k-2 classroom lessons.  I really love Second Step and it requires little planning.  I do like to use other resources to supplement my second step lesson though and today I am going to connect you to some of my favorite resources.  I found some really great worksheets on the TPT store Behavior Savers.  

I love this Freebie from the Kindergarten pack:

Freebie...Second Step Kindergarten Belly Breath Worksheet

Here is a freebie from the 2nd grade pack:

Problem Solving-Making Responsible Choices-2nd Grade Second Step Lesson

The other worksheets must be purchased but at $5.00 a packet they are very reasonably priced and include some great material!

SECOND STEP KINDERGARTEN-24 Lesson Worksheets

SECOND STEP 1st Grade-21 Lesson Worksheets

SECOND STEP 2nd GRADE-21 Lesson Worksheets

Paiges of Learning is another TPT store that sells supplemental Second Step Materials.  These packets are $3.00 each and she has a packet for 1st grade as well as one for 3rd grade.

There Is a Bird On Your Head! (Being Assertive)

I found the perfect book for teaching assertiveness!  I was in our school library and stumbled across the book There Is a Bird On Your Head!  The book is hilarious!  I use Second Step in grades K-2 and one of the skills for learning is Be Assertive so I used this book with my first graders and they loved it.  I also created a worksheet to go along with the book and had each child share their completed worksheet with the class.  If you don't teach Second Step or teach in the classrooms this book is still great for teaching assertiveness in individual or small group sessions.  So many of my referrals list "doesn't ask for help when needed" or "pouts and sulks when work is difficult" as a concern so I do a lot of work on assertiveness.  I would check your school library for this book as a lot of schools seem to have the Elephant & Piggie Books.  If not you can purchase it on Amazon for $6.00.

 I have students draw a picture of themselves with a bird on their head and then write on the lines below:
