2 Day Camp, Addressing Lying, Respect, Anger, Self-Esteem, Boundaries, Listening

I teach in a positive non-accusatory manner. This helps students become more comfortable in all of my classes. All children are welcome in my classroom! This is an outline of what will be taught in the class. Learners will not be engaging in therapeutic conversation during this class. 

Day #1

 1st Showing respect, to parents, teachers, friends and in school. As well as respecting the same in return.

 2nd Why did we decide to lie? What is behind my choices and how to rebuild trust. 

3rd Being a role model to not only others but to ourselves. Choosing characteristics in others that we wish to see in a role model and deciding which characteristics in us that we would like to work on. 


Day #2

1St Seeing other people's perspective and in turn we will be more conscious about our choices. 

2nd How to express our feelings without losing our self-control. Staying calm in times of everyday stressors.

3rd Taking responsibility for our actions.

We will also cover, if time allows:

Making excuses
Facial expressions, eye rolling, not making eye contact.
Journaling to gain perspective.
Finding a calm space.
Being mad does not include being mean
Respectfully disagreeing, not dragging others into our argument to prove we are right. 

This is a student-centered class, taught with patience and understanding. I feel it is more productive when the students participate as much as possible, instead of me lecturing them, I encourage students to interact. No prior knowledge is required for this class.

 ***Transfer requests must be made 48 hours before the class start time. This gives ample time for other students to enroll. I appreciate your understanding.  Students who missed class will have access to the recording if there are more than one enrolled. Transfers will not be issues for missed classes.
