TOSA Tips: If you haven’t heard of Steve Hartman, you’re not the only one. My friend Kelly told me about him and his videos this week. He and his two kids have created these Kindness 101 videos, which were picked up by CBS Mornings and they are amazing. The videos will go perfectly with our Second Step lessons. Have some tissue ready because you and your students will need them for some of the videos. This is a great time of year to start watching them. Kelly said every time they watch one, the whole class is engaged. Let me know what you and your students think of them.

Second Step: We all should be on week 10 of Second Step. December is a good time for classes to catch up. The time before break is always a challenge, because we don't want to start new concepts and we're trying to fill time. Please make sure you continue working on Second Step. Belinda has included a link for other videos to support social skills in your class and at school.
