Our Kindergarten students have begun participating in a social skills program provided by our school counselor, Jana Zawatsky—affectionately known as Ms. Jana. The lessons will focus on social skills specific to this age level and will be applicable to multiple settings. They will take place weekly over the next two months. The evidence-based program "Good Talking Words," incorporates role-play of situations with puppets, visual representations of scenarios, and corresponding literature which expands on the target concept. Topics include using good manners, sharing, taking turns, and resolving conflicts with peers. Positive reinforcement will be provided for students both during the session and throughout the week in the classroom. We are looking forward to expanding the social skills for our students and helping them experience wholeness as they feel more comfortable navigating their social worlds.
