"Let's Do This Together"
In "Let's Do This Together," children will work in teams to complete different types of social skill activities.
Upon arrival, the children will participate in a large group activity where we will determine the plan for the night. Activities could include building structures together, playing a cooperative game, creating a game together, using our imaginations to create a "pretend" play activity, creating a dance move, or participating in gross motor activities together.
Concepts from Social Thinking will be emphasized, such as expected and unexpected thoughts, thinking thoughts about others, understanding the thoughts and feelings others are having, developing a group plan, keeping our brain and body in the group, sharing our feelings with others, identifying the zone we are in, regulating our emotions, and working together.
Each child will select a friend for the night and will have to remain with the friend for the duration of the evening. As they are working together, we will focus on using appropriate body orientation, responding to the peer, asking the peer questions, making comments, and asking follow-up questions.
The emphasis of our elementary group is working with a team - our motto will be, "We are in this together!"
