Kelso's Choice

For the last two weeks we have been working on learning all about Kelso the frog and the choices he makes when he has a problem.

First we learned that there are two types of problems-- a big problem and a small problem. A big problem is something you need a grown up to help you with, such as a fire, stranger danger, or someone who is hurt. A small problem is something a kid can solve, such as breaking a structure, not sharing or bumping into someone.

When we have a big problem, we tell a grown up RIGHT AWAY! When we have a small problem, we use two of Kelso's choices to help us solve the problem.

Today we sent home a copy of Kelso's Choices to help your child to focus on problem solving at home. At school, our friends have been doing an amazing job of making two choices to solve their problem before telling an adult. They also have Kelso living in our classroom to help them out if they forget. By reinforcing Kelso's choices at home, you will help your child to be a better problem solver at school!
