Miss A’s Place
 
 
Welcome to Miss A’s website.
Here are some of our favorite stories that have been discussed with many of the students in class.  Feel free to share them again and review these lessons at home!
Below, you will find a poster used throughout the school to help our students remember ways of addressing problems positively.  Although written in language for our older students, the same ideas are discussed at age-appropriate levels with all classes. Please reinforce similar vocabulary (adult problem, kid-sized problem, let-it-go, strategies) at home when the opportunity arises!

I’m a Problem Solver! Step 1. Am I injured? Is someone injured? Is something dangerous happening? YES – This is an ADULT PROBLEM. Emergency! I can: • Ask a teacher for help • Tell a parent what happened • Tell an adult helper about the problem NO – go to the next step Step 2. Have I tried AT LEAST three strategies for solving the problem? YES – This is an ADULT PROBLEM. (see strategies above) NO – go to the next step Step 3. Is the problem stopping me from doing something? YES – This is a KID-SIZED PROBLEM. I can: • Use my words: “I feel ______.” or “ I want ______.” • Offer to take turns • Think of a compromise • Share • Make a suggestion NO – go to the last step Step 4. If I answered NO to the other three questions, I know I have a LET IT GO PROBLEM. I can: • Ignore it • Walk away • Change the subject • Look at something else • Ask to move to a different seat • Laugh or make a joke • AND ESPECIALLY: smile and try to enjoy the rest of my day!
