Best Day Ever!

This hands on project based workshop is designed to expose participants to an actual day in the life of a program that is meeting Quality Standards to provide enriching, safe, and engaging activities. Building relationships with students is an important foundation on which to build a successful program. The group will introduce themselves in a Sharing Circle to show how to start building relationships at the beginning of program. We will discuss best practices then do activities. I will monitor each group and model how to accomplish this goal, offering suggestions as needed for success. Participants will choose an activity; make a collage, prepare a healthy snack, or build with magnetic shapes. At the conclusion of the activities, we will reflect on the activities and share our accomplishments. We will close with sharing how participants will use these new skills in their programs.
