Kindness.
Empathy.
Integrity.
These are such important qualities we want kids to grow up with, yet we just assume they will come to school with them. All too often, they don't.
So,
What do we do when a child doesn't know how to read? We teach them.
What do we do when a child doesn't know how to add? We teach them.
What do we do when a child doesn't know how to treat others kindly?
Social skills are, in my opinion, one of the most important things I can teach my students. Kindness, empathy, and thinking about others are qualities that will shape them as people and carry them through life. So it is vital to teach these as often as I can.
