The focus in SIZZLE for the next 2 weeks will be "Ask for Help”.

When asking for help from an adult or peer, students will learn to get the person’s attention, then make a request for help or assistance in a nice way.

Asking for help is an important skill because it:

• Helps you do your best
• Helps reduce a problem and often makes you feel better
• Is part of learning from others    

Students will 

1. talk about the importance of asking for help,
2. name feelings associated with asking for help,
3. identify positive examples of asking for help
4. show how to get a person’s attention and then request his or her help in a positive way.

Attached is the skill step card outlining the 4 steps of:

Think about what you need help with.

Signal to get the attention of someone who can help you.

Ask a question about the help you need in a nice way.

Smile and thank the person for helping you.
