Life Explorers (Social Emotional Learning Class)-
Life Explorers is provided to the kids throughout the month. It teaches much of the same things as Mr. Rogers did. Ms. Essie our Life Explorers teacher will talk about concepts such as how to be a good friend, acceptance and love, empathy, the power of kindness and compassion, social skills, and life skills. Ms. Essie will teach the appropriate way on how to handle their feelings, even the uncomfortable ones, and how they are real and valid. She does a lot of this through imaginative play, books, songs, videos, puppets, and acting things out.
Music –
Ms. Robin meets with each class once a week to engage children in music, singing, expressive movement, instruments, music fundamentals and classical music immersion.
Movement with Max-
Movement with Max is provided to kids throughout the month. It will get little bodies moving and hearts pumping! Movement with Max combines teamwork, body movement, inclusion, and just plain old fun in one dynamic experience. Children will develop gross motor skills, learn to work together as a team, and celebrate each other’s unique abilities while laughing and playing. This inclusive program welcomes all children to participate at their own level, building confidence, coordination, and friendship through the joy of movement.
Teacher Expert-
Ms. Sue is a former teacher of CDLC. We are blessed that she comes once a month as our teacher expert in all things science, stories, animals and so much more. She currently volunteers at the Minnesota Zoo and brings her love of animals to our kids.
