May Social Skills Lesson
Teaching about Tolerance and Accepting Difference
This month we will be teaching students about tolerance and accepting differences. Students will be reading a story and watching a video clip on why it is important to be tolerant towards others. We will also be presenting problem solving strategies to use when a child is not feeling accepted. We will be discussing how each individual is unique in their own way and when put together in their classroom community they are like a box of crayons.
