Sharing the Blue Crayon BOOK GROUP (Online)

Sharing the Blue Crayon: How to Integrate Social, Emotional, and Litearcy Learning

What: Social, emotional discussion group

Where: Over email

When: Starts October 26th and lasts approximately seven weeks

This book will be yours so feel free to mark it up as needed.  We will hold the discussion over emails.  Each week there will be a new reading which you can comment on to the group.  Here is more information about the book:

Social and emotional learning is at the heart of good teaching, but as standards and testing requirements consume classroom time and divert teachers' focus, these critical skills often get side lined. In Sharing the Blue Crayon , Mary Anne Buckley shows teachers how to incorporate social and emotional learning into a busy day and then extend these skills to literacy lessons for young children. Through simple activities such as read-alouds, sing-alongs, murals, and performances, students learn how to get along in a group, empathize with others, develop self-control, and give and receive feedback, all while becoming confident readers and writers.

Please let us know by October 10th if you would like to participate in this email professional learning opportunity.  We will mail out the book that week and began reading on October 26th. 

The book is geared towards ages 4-8 but I believe we can take some of the information and apply it to 3 year olds and students with special needs.  If you have any questions, please contact me (Beth Tepper) at btepper@cesa9.org.
