Vol. 2 social emotional learning curriculum for ages 4-7. Molly, Evan, Jesse, and Ellie are working in an ice cream shop. It’s a dream come true—they get to wear special shop uniforms, scoop ice cream, take telephone orders, run the cash register, and even drive the delivery truck! Uh oh. The friends learn the hard way that when they all get stuck on what only they want and think and don’t think about each other, they can’t work well together as a group and follow the group plan to get the ice cream delivered before it melts. By using flexible thinking the children are able to see the big picture, take turns doing the fun jobs, and meet their goals. Everyone is a happy customer! Continue building on this important social concept with increasingly sophisticated executive function concepts taught in storybooks 9-10, 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 using the corresponding curriculum.
