Implementing social emotional learning is a district wide initiative that allows our students to be prepared for the future by learning a variety of soft skills that are integral to future success. These expectations are connected to our school's acronym, PBIS, and my project "Keys to Success." The students earn keys for exhibiting pro-social and pro-academic behaviors. For example, students can earn these keys by showing good work ethic by turning in their work on time or demonstrating perseverance. The program also helps students to learn how to deal with anger and to show kindness. Once they've earned a key, the students can then turn them in for rewards. Students in the Kindergarten through second grade that I work with are motivated greatly by tangible rewards at this age. The materials in this project include party favors such as toy assortments and carnival assortments, sticky hands and Mardi Gras beads. These are all of extreme high interest for kindergarten students. The light up glow in the dark supplies, mini animal plush toys, stress balls and squeeze toys, tongue flying emoji balls, soft stress and anxiety relief toys are geared toward the older 1st and 2nd grade students. It is my hope that these rewards will provide my students with the motivation to become active learners in our social emotional learning program.
