One of the MANY things we like to teach our kiddos in Kindergarten is "Problem Solving." We had a very interesting Class Meeting today concerning strikes, what causes strikes and how we should address them. So, to factor in our wonderful Thinking Maps, we decided to make a "Multi-Flow Map" to break down the Strike System (see above). We talked about the various things that can "cause" you to get a strike and then the "effect" of getting a strike. A few of my favorite "Effects" were no t.v. and not getting to order school lunch. Oh, the things that are inportant to our little ones! :) I just want to say THANK YOU parents for providing a Effect (consequence) at home! Losing priviledges and taking things away may seem harsh, but in the end it is helping to develop good character in your child. It shows them that yes, there are consequences to bad behavior. This to me, is just as important as learning to read. Thank you again!
