"Lesson One’s ABCs of Life is a groundbreaking program that doesn’t just teach skills—it defines them, simply and clearly, and then teaches them sequentially. Lesson One works with children, teachers, staff, parents and guardians, to create an environment where children learn to integrate skills from self-control to cooperation into their lives. With this breakthrough approach, we can change the course of our culture and help children and adults live happy, healthy and productive lives." "Lesson One: Skills For Life" website

Self-Control Time is done three times a day in the classroom. This helps the students get focused on what is coming next.

Self-Control time is also a chance  for students who have lost control to take time and regain their self-control.

The students follow the five basic rules to Lesson One to better themselves as students and as individuals.

I will wait my turn to speak. I will treat others the way I would like to be treated. I will respect the diversity of all people. I will remember that I have people in my family, school and community that care about me. I will try my best.

Students and staff at South Lexington practice using their self control by playing fun games and sharing stories about times they did or did not use their self-control, and what they will  do different if it happens again.
