Social Skills for Young Minds: Manners!

During this class, we will discuss manners to early learners in a fun and interactive way. We will start with a greeting circle and discuss how to ask someone their feelings.  We will play a game involving solving social problems.  We will read the story Please Mr. Panda by Steve Antony about kind words and actions then act it out together with words, playdough and sign language to ensure we understand how to be kind. We will finish with a game involving our new found skills. My teaching style is interactive, visual and movement based.  Students will be constantly interacting with me and others to ensure they are grasping the topics.
