Fifth graders and second graders at Setauket Elementary School are working together in the classroom.

Throughout the month of January, students in Mrs. McCabe’s second grade class worked on social skills stations. Each week, there was a different focus and skill taught. Students then practiced these new skills in different stations focused on the themes of build, create, play and think. Some of the topics students learned through these stations included responsibility, perseverance, communication, flexibility and working together to solve problems.

Mrs. Henkowicz’s fifth grade students helped the second graders throughout this unit. They modeled the skills for their younger peers and helped problem solve as needed. The activity brought students together for collaborative learning.
