Read this post from Clover Ridge Elementary School’s website about their new strategies for helping students build self-management skills:
At Clover Ridge, we teach our students that they can solve small problems on their own, using Kelso’s Wheel. Interim Principal Kilee Sowa helped create a great visual for our kids that reminds them of the many options they have to deal with small issues as they arise, such as:
- Wait and cool off
- Tell others to stop
- Go to another game
- Talk it out
- Walk away
- Apologize
- Share and take turns
- Ignore it
- Make a deal
If you are interested in implementing/reinforcing Kelso’s Wheel at home,we have flyers in the office that you can stop in and pick up anytime.
