Imagine Neighborhood

The Imagine Neighborhood is a podcast designed to help children and their grown ups grow their social-emotional skills.

What is Social Emotional Learning?

Social-emotional learning (or SEL) is sometimes called emotional intelligence or people skills. SEL helps people build their empathy and relationship skills and manage big emotions.  

Having strong social-emotional skills help kids and their grown-ups communicate better, manage their conflicts, and solve problems together. 

How does the show work? 

No one gives a toddler a book and expects them to immediately know how to read. Reading is a skill that’s taught.  The same is true with skills like sharing, making friends, or empathizing with someone else’s feelings. In the Imagine Neighborhood, we use stories, music, and activities to help kids and their grown-ups develop these skills. And we give grown-ups extra tools, like activities and conversation starters, that match the topic of each show’s story.

The show is based on the award-winning SEL curriculum Second Step. Second Step reaches over 15 million kids around the world, every year.

There are several podcasts specifically created for helping children understand and process feelings about the Corona Virus and the Stay at Home order.

At home learning activities

Keep in mind that many activities that can easily be done at home or for fun are considered learning activities too! 

Online Tutoring

 

Are you interested in online tutoring while we are in this remote learning period? Illinois retired teachers would be providing tutoring/mentoring.

Below is information on the linked website for parents about how it all works.

• By signing-up you volunteer your child to be matched with an Illinois Retired Teacher (if available).
• Mentors can teach, tutor or advise in whatever means they feel appropriate.
• Mentors set their own schedules. 
• Mentors determine which communication platform they want to use for lessons/mentorship sessions; i.e. Skype, Facetime, Zoom, Whatsapp, Facebook, etc.
• Mentors determine the frequencies of online sessions.
• Mentorships will last until the end of the school year or June 1, 2020.
• Mentors agree to tutor for free and either party may cancel at any time. 
• Only names and email addresses will be shared between students and mentors.
