“A Little Spot” of Engagement and Skills

Help me give my students “a spot" of belonging through social-emotional learning. Students regulate through different emotions using the Little Spot curriculum, while also learning to cooperate and manage problems through fine motor activities.

My Project

Students will engage and explore through literature and fine motor games! We are constantly working through emotional regulation. Whether this be through academics, friendships, classroom collaboration, or even play students will be given skills to emotionally regulate through a small or big problem. Using The Spot curriculum and books will enhance our classroom environment and connections. We will be able to reference characters and use scenarios. Students will be able to recognize certain feelings within themselves, and others, to help solve problems. This curriculum along with incorporating fine motor games will build our classroom community!
