Life Skills/ Conflict Resolution:
Our counselor and our teachers instruct a K-5 continuum on the use of these valuable skills for the classroom and the playground. The list of Lifeskills and the Talk-It-Out strategies can be found in the handbook and in every classroom. Each month the Dunbar community highlights a different lifeskill. Students are recognized for using lifeskills with verbal praise and of a lifeskill card. The cards are collected in the office and each Friday at lunch 3 cards are drawn and the children receive books.
