Good citizens start in second grade
Second graders build on the basics of kindness and start thinking about being a good citizen. They learn why we have rules and what happens when we break them, practice self-control when they're frustrated, and take responsibility for their jobs and mistakes. They talk about caring for others, standing up to bullying and being a helpful member of the class community. The click moment is a child calmly taking a deep breath instead of yelling, and telling you, "I used my self-control!"
Second graders learn character through stories, songs and real choices. These moves make it part of every day.
Have kids brainstorm a classroom rule, then draw what happens when it's followed and when it's broken. Talking about consequences, good and bad, helps kids understand why rules exist.
Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.
