D.R.E.A.M. (Do Right Each Audacious Minute) Executive Function Skills Age 7-10 (Once a week/5 weeks)

In this multi-day class (5 classes total over five weeks), our community of learners will discuss executive function concepts and behaviors each class. We will discuss getting organized, large/small goals, regulating emotions, formulating ideas/passions, and how to get there. This is also a place where we can talk about roadblocks that can occur from either within or from outside that stop us from achieving our goals. Each class we will put our thinking caps on and critically think about the importance of having good executive function skills, and how they can positively benefit ourselves and our community. Handouts/worksheets are given after each class to review and help your student continue to use the information long after class is over.  This class is limited to 7 learners to give each student an opportunity to engage. As with all the D.R.E.A. M. (Do Right Each Audacious Minute) classes critical thinking is a key element. 

The following class schedule details our adventure:

Week One: Time Management: How can we use time to become our best selves?
Week Two: The Art and Science of Discipline: What does our brain have to do with discipline?
Week Three: Goals: How to set them, manage them, and complete them.
Week Four: Planning & Organization: Where do I even start? 
Week Five: Regulating our Emotions: The power of us!

I believe in creating a classroom environment that is flexible and driven by student suggestions and engagement. I encourage a very interactive classroom where students are encouraged but not forced to engage.
