Stuffies Teach Social-Emotional Skills! Lesson 4 (Ages 4-8)

Empathy Elephant,  Following Directions Frog, Decision-Making Duck, and Resolution Rabbit and I will demonstrate and lead interactive activities and games to help students understand and develop four primary social skills.  Students will get to practice using all four of the skills listed.  Students will be given situations and choose the best empathic responses.  Students will be given 1-step, 2-step, and 3-step directions for interaction with their stuffy.  Age appropriate conflict situations will be presented and students will practice resolution.  Finally, students will learn simple decision-making steps, practice making the best choice, and play “would you rather”. Social emotional learning helps children move from lower level thinking to higher level thinking leading to better academic and life outcomes.  I have a masters degree in education/school counseling with over 30 years experience.  Have your child and his/her favorite stuffy join me as we have fun and learn.  This one-time class requires no previous knowledge or experience. I will send an activity page about one of the lessons covered after class.#superstar
