Appendix on Implementing District Standards
Delaware Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Competencies
3A Demonstrate awareness and consideration of other people’s emotions, perspectives, and social cues. This standard is most specifically addressed in Activity One. Though it can certainly also be addressed in Activities 2 and 3. It could be brought into the Notice and Wonder teaching strategy as well as during modeling.
4A Use positive communication and social skills to interact effectively with others. This standard is addressed in all three activities. It can be part of all three stated teaching strategies. Communication is also an essential part of most rituals/routines.
Next Generation Science Standards
K-LS1-1 Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive. Students can be led to discussing this standard during notice and wonder, and the strategizing strategies while we are discussing the rituals of our master teaching animals.
