Has your child talked about Second Step and Healthy Play? Thanks to a Sacramento Countywide Bullying Prevention Project (SC-BPP) Grant, we have implemented both programs at Spinelli:
Second Step Curriculum - Second Step focuses on skills for social and academic success through videos, discussions and role-playing. All teachers teach one lesson per week and the concepts are reinforced throughout the week and year.
Healthy Play - Healthy Play focuses on character education, classroom management and conflict resolution through playground games and activities. It provides an opportunity to put into practice the concepts discussed during Second Step. The rules of the Healthy Play games are
1) We play to have FUN.
2) The most important part of playing are PEOPLE.
3) Disagreements must be taken out of the game.
4) If someone gets hurt, whoever is closest to that person must remain with him/her.
