First and Second graders at Red Hill are following the story of
Hunter and his Amazing Remote control. Hunter
is an amazing kid but gets frustrated with himself sometimes when he acts impulsively. He realizes he can control his brain the same
way he can choose to turn on or off the TV.
He builds a remote control for his brain to remind him all the ways he
can use self-control. We are taking some
time to do activities and discuss each of the buttons and at the end of the
year we’ll make our own remote controls!
