Kinder & 1st Grade has been learning about play skills outdoors and indoors. We have been learning and practicing how to initiate play, how to share materials and toys, and how to take turns. The kids have watched video modeling by Playtime with Zeebu and have worked to problem solve basic problems in play situations. The kids love Zeebu. There are some basic feelings identification games available on the website if you would like to access them from home. Just click HERE to access the website.
2nd graders and 5th graders have worked hard on developing conversation skills. We have used various video modeling resources as well as experiential activities. We have practiced how to show and tell when others are interested or not interested, how to observe appropriate personal space, how to use our friend files to help us figure out what to talk about, how to take conversational turns, and how to adjust through related conversational topics. We are now beginning to learn about flexible thinking through the Superflex curriculum. Superflex is a curriculum created by Michelle Garcia Winner. Superflex is a superhero who teaches how to use strategies to defeat the "Unthinkables". Unthinkables are characters who cause inflexible thinking. As we study various strategies, I will post visual tools that you can use at home in the sidebar.
