Elementary

Second Step Elementary classroom kits combined with the Principal Toolkit allow educators to reinforce social-emotional skills schoolwide. With the Principal Toolkit, social-emotional learning moves beyond the classroom as staff use assembly and announcement scripts, staff meeting agendas, and other tools to reinforce skills and encourage positive behavior. Back in the classroom, the evidence-based Second Step® Elementary lessons promote self-regulation, emotion management, problem-solving, and responsible decision-making. This bundle contains one classroom kit for each grade from K–5, plus one copy of the Principal Toolkit.

Set a clear course for school success

The elementary years bring exciting new challenges and opportunities. It’s the prime time to nurture social-emotional awareness and skills for learning. Evidence-based Second Step Elementary classroom kits for Grades 1–5 include everything needed to make it easy for teachers to integrate social-emotional learning into their classrooms, which decreases problem behaviors and increases whole-school success by promoting self-regulation, safety, and support.

New challenges, new skills

To make the big transition to elementary school, kids need to learn new skills, such as how to control impulses, stay focused, and follow rules. Research-based Second Step Elementary helps teachers give students the skills and confidence they need to adjust to a full day of learning. Kids are captivated by the colorful Second Step® lesson cards, interactive songs, games, and especially beloved puppets Puppy and Snail and plush Be-Calm Bunny.

Connected and collaborative

As fourth-grade students interact even more with peers, research-based Second Step Elementary reinforces skills such as participating in conversations, giving compliments, managing strong feelings, and taking responsibility. They’ll love the award-winning music videos, which can make remembering their problem-solving and calming-down skills a breeze.
