That's Where It's At!

This one time class will help us build skills to solve a very relatable problem- finding something that's lost! We will share experiences of having lost things and build strategies to help us next time we lose something.

Class Experience

This class will focus on helping students recognize that losing things or toys is a normal problem. We will learn that you can solve this problem by using a strategy and staying persistent. 
As we introduce ourselves to each other we will also tell a short story about something we have lost. Teacher and students will tell about an item they have lost, why they really wanted to find it, how they went about searching for it and if they ever found it. 
After introductions and building common experience, the teacher will read the self-published book, ‘That’s Where it’s At!’ As we read the book, we will relate to and act out the character’s journey to find their lost blue truck. 
After reading the book, we will take turns talking about what we thought the character did well and what things we might do differently. 
As a group we will build a 4 part strategy to help us search for a missing item. 
*Where should it be?  - look where you had it last. 
*Where could it be? -come up with an idea of a new place to look. 
*Where would it be? -if it was put away.
*Where might it be? - if it was moved by someone else.  
As a group develop a chant or song to help us remember the 4 part strategy.

Learning Goals

Student will recognize that losing something is an experience that happens to everyone, but we can deal with it with a sense of humor and a plan.

Teacher expertise and credentials

I like to teach classes that help us explore the world around us! As children learn about the world they become eager to communicate about it! This authentic desire to communicate helps children maintain motivation to practice the skills they need to communicate about the exciting learning they are doing. 
As the owner and lead teacher of a preschool my approach cultivated children's authentic enthusiasm to understand the world around them and communicate about it as a starting point to practice many important academic skills. 
It is important that children feel supported as they take the risk of trying new skills. Learning and trying new skills takes sustained effort- so as a teacher I model the type of thinking and self-talk it takes to sustain effort. I want children to know they are not alone in working hard and sustaining effort as they practice their new skills. 
I love to ride horses! Training my young horse helps me remember that progress requires clear communication and support. It also helps me remember that even small amounts of progress are worth celebrating and building on!
