(Note: in the Pre-K & K lessons, we are not going to be processing the term “Reality” and instead will be focusing on the concept of making choices that are more helpful to ourselves and to others. So for the purposes of communication with our students, we will refer to the metaphor as “The Helpful Track”)
This Reality Ride Part 2 lesson will begin by reviewing the activity you did in Part 1, followed by a walk-through of The Reality Ride (The Helpful Track) visual metaphor. You will help students compare the picture with the activity and ultimately arrive at the idea that we have different choices in life, and while sometimes a choice may look or sound like something you want to do, it’s important to think about whether that choice will be helpful to us and others. We also introduce the idea of Stop, Feel, Think, and Choose to give students a practical strategy for making more helpful decisions.
We would love any feedback on this lesson!
- What can we do to make it easier to teach?
- How does the age/developmental appropriateness feel for Pre-k and K?
- Do you have any feedback on the activities?
- Are there any other resources that you would like to see here?
