O - Okay Odie - Change
Okay Odie is the fifteenth of the stories from Powerful You Primary. Odie helps children demonstrate ability to manage transitions and ability to adapt to changing situations and responsibilities (ASCA Behavior - Self-Management Skill Standard 10). Odie also fosters a Positive attitude toward work and learning (ASCA Mindset 6).

Review and post the Classroom Social Skills Sign that compliments each lesson.

Role-Play: Allow the children to hold the Powerful You PRIMARY Educator Card and act out different scenarios.
Review self-talk from previous lessons until children have memorized every Powerful You letter! Use the Powerful You PRIMARY Educator cards like giant flash cards! A - I am attentive | B - I am brave…
