Social Detective Wrap Up

2/5/2017

0 Comments

 
This week we wrapped up our Social Detective book. The end of the book talks about how when we act expected we give people good thoughts about us. People feel comfortable around us. The "social toolbox" was also introduced. This is a box of our social tools we have to unlock. Within the toolbox are our eyes for looking and seeing our information, our ears for listening and hearing our information, our hearts for caring about others and how we make people feel, and our brains for thinking about our information. The book uses a math equation eyes + ears + heart + running that information through our brains = expected behaviors and others having good thoughts about us. The other concept taught was making smart guesses vs. wacky guesses. A smart guess is making a comment or asking a question that is relevant to the situation or person. The book example was a boy wearing a Star Wars t-shirt. The other child said, "You must like Star Wars!" And that was a smart guess. The other example was a child saying to another, "You have 6 cats!" The illustration shows the other child confused and having thoughts of ?, odd, unexpected while he says in response: "I don't have any cats". We made some wacky guesses with each other and laughed. Then we tried some smart guesses that were on topic and used what we saw, heard, or knew from caring about each other. This coming week we will be doing some more activities having to do with using our social tools and unlocking our toolboxes. 
Upcoming events include a half day on 2/17 and a mid-winter break on 2/20 and 2/21. I will also be doing my annual PAL observations on 2/13 so I will be out that day observing students who may attend our program as kindergarteners next year. Mrs. Sievert will be subbing for me. She has subbed for me in the past. 
Ask your child what is in their social toolboxes!
