First grade students have been working hard to build their detective skills! We are learning vocabulary and strategies to become social detectives. We all have different "smarts" in our brains, but one type of "smart" that many people do know know about are our social smarts! We use our social smarts when we think about other people. Social detectives use clues to figure out how behave, make smart guess about what is expected,
First graders began by learning the social detective "lingo" - expected and unexpected. Behavior that is expected it what we would predict to see based on where we are, and what is happening. This is tricky in school because we travel to so many places and do so many things! If we see people doing things that are unexpected, it makes us feel uncomfortable or have uncomfortable thoughts. Take a look below to see what students were able to come up with to explain some expected and unexpected behaviors in all the places we learn and play in school.
