Hidden Rules and Expected and Unexpected Behaviors: Pirate Adventure (storybook 6 of 10)
Come along with Evan, Jesse, Ellie, and Molly on new exciting adventures to help children learn about hidden social rules and expected and unexpected behaviors while also using the social concepts explored earlier through storybooks 1-5. In storybook 6 of the We Thinkers! Vol. 2 social emotional learning curriculum for ages 4 -7, the friends set sail on a pirate ship. There’s so much to learn to help keep everyone feeling calm, safe, and comfortable with each other when you’ve never been on a pirate ship before. When the children think with their eyes, keep their bodies in the group, follow the group plan, and think about others’ thoughts and feelings, they each learn the unspoken, hidden rules and expected behaviors of jolly pirates so that they all can work together to find the buried treasure. Continue building on this important social concept with increasingly sophisticated concepts taught in storybooks 7-10, which align with the corresponding teaching units within the related curriculum. Best practice: teach these concepts in order, starting with storybook 1 of 10 while utilizing the corresponding curriculum.
