SEL Loops (6/24 9-11AM)
Makerspace Playground - Table 1
Session Description
In this session, I'll show you a super easy way to finger knit. And get this, we're not just gonna knit; we're gonna crank it up a notch and use this fun activity to teach some important Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills. Skills like knowing yourself, managing your feelings, and building relationships. Each person will get a piece of yarn, and in less than 15 minutes, you'll walk away with a finished bracelet & a fresh perspective on how to incorporate SEL into your makerspace projects.
Brief Session Outline
The session will give the attendees the basics of finger knitting and they each will be able to create their own bracelet. But, what we are going to do is spin this around a bit and infuse SEL skills in with the finger knitting process. Knitting has been long known to be a great source of calming and can strengthen your skills of self-regulation and managing your feelings. So along with the technical skill of knitting - definitely part of any STEAM/Makerspace - we are also using this time to help students on their SEL journey.
