[0:00] - Okay, we got rapid fire time. [0:02] How do you show respect in school? [0:04] - I look up to my peers andlisten to what they have to say. [0:08] - Can you tell us how youshow respect in school? [0:11] - I open doors for people. [0:13] - How do you show respect in school? [0:14] - Being kind and givingpositive compliments to people. [0:23] - [Children] Show and Tell! [0:28] - Hi, I'm Ayantu and we'retalking about social readiness. [0:32] I don't know what that means,but let's go ask other people. [0:35] - Social readiness is partof our district's mission [0:38] and let's go find out why. [0:40] - [Group] This is Show and Tell. [0:49] - [Sydney] Hi, Mr. Atwood. [0:50] Can I talk to you about social readiness? [0:51] - Of course, Sydney,anything for you. Come on in. [0:55] - What does social readiness mean to you? [0:57] - I really think socialreadiness means are you ready to, [1:00] you know, sociallyinteract with other people [1:03] in a variety of settings. [1:04] And also, are you ready to,you know, work with people [1:07] that maybe aren't yourbest friends all the time. [1:09] - How do you feel whenyou see your students [1:11] growing in their social skills? [1:13] - It's like the bestfeeling in the entire world. [1:15] I think you could ask anyteacher from elementary [1:17] all the way through high school, [1:18] and seeing your studentsgrow and mature as people [1:21] is like so cool, so amazing,and I always love it. [1:25] It's kind of like why I do this [1:27] and it's my favorite part of the job. [1:29] It's so much fun. [1:30] - Hello, today we're sittingwith Ayantu the Great. [1:35] - And I'm sitting withsomebody special, named Gia. [1:39] Show me something thatcan help you calm down [1:42] with your emotions. [1:43] - Yeah, so this is the breathing ball. [1:47] It helps me like focus on my thoughts [1:50] and slow down my breathing [1:51] so I'm not hyperventilating or something. [1:59] - Ms. Grier, can I askyou a few questions? [2:02] - Sure. [2:02] - Why do you think it'sin the district's mission? [2:06] - I know studies have shown [2:07] that social readiness andsocial skills are just as, [2:10] if not more importantthan academic learning. [2:12] Kids have to have theiremotional needs met [2:15] and connections with others [2:17] in order to be able to focus on learning [2:19] and in the classroom. [2:21] - How can you getstudents to be self-aware? [2:25] - I think the first step,especially when kids are young, [2:27] is identifying emotionsthat can be hard to identify [2:30] exactly what you're feeling. [2:31] A lot of stuff can come out as anger [2:32] when it's other feelings, [2:34] and then to be able toreflect after a situation, [2:37] maybe on your part in it [2:39] and what could have been done differently. [2:41] - [Interviewer] Hey Jeremy, [2:42] do you know anythingabout social readiness? [2:43] - I do. [2:44] - [Interviewer] All right,let's talk about it. [2:45] What social skills are important to you [2:47] to make this school a betterand more positive place? [2:51] - I feel showing respectand being kind to others [2:53] are my biggest ones. [2:55] How about you?- Always be nice to everyone, [2:57] even if you don't really know them. [2:59] Don't judge a book by its cover. [3:01] Jeremy, what social skillsdo you wanna improve on? [3:03] - I think the biggest one is [3:05] having courage to ask questions in class. [3:08] You know, being more curious [3:10] and not being afraid to do that, [3:12] 'cause either way I'lllearn from the situation. [3:14] - What are we doing here, Ms. Grier? [3:16] - Oh, we're looking at oneof our movement stations [3:18] in the hallway. [3:19] Teachers will have kidsgo for walks to regulate, [3:22] and maybe do some ofthese movement posters. [3:25] So Gia and Ayantu are gonnashow us how to use some of them. [3:28] So the first one is owl head turns. [3:31] This one says do it five times, [3:33] but you don't have to do it five. [3:35] And then another one is head rolls. [3:38] - [Gia] Oh, there's more.Shake the wiggles out. [3:44] - So what are you doing?- Bird flaps, obviously. [3:48] - All right, so I have this bag here [3:51] of some other social skills,and I want you to pick one [3:54] and then explain to mewhat it means to you. [3:58] - Courage, I got courage, [3:59] and I think that's like not giving up [4:02] and like believing in yourself,especially on like tests, [4:05] or like big accomplishmentthat you have to do, [4:07] or get ready for it. [4:08] All right, Junior, canyou pick out of the bag? [4:12] - I got empathy. [4:13] What I think about it is like, you know, [4:15] putting yourself in theother person's shoes. [4:17] You know, by looking at them, [4:18] you can tell how they're feeling, [4:19] if they're okay with this,if they're okay with that. [4:21] Just like, you know, connect with them. [4:24] - All right, thanks for watching. [4:25] We'll see you next time on Show and Tell. [4:27] - Signing off Ayantu, Gia,and Ms. Grier. Thanks. [4:42] - Okay, we're gonna review these chairs. [4:46] They seem pretty spinny, and very movable.
