WOW - Building Blocks and Social Skills/Grade Four

Dear Grade Four Parents and Guardians,

Wainwright on Wellness (WOW) is excited to offer an afterschool program called “Building Blocks and Social Skills.” This program will run once a week on Wednesdays after school from 3:30 to 4:30. During this time the students will have an opportunity to participate in small groups to build Lego sets while learning about working as a team, determining new ways to communicate, and building conflict resolution skills. Please note that registration is required for this program to ensure there are enough supplies for the group.

While children are in their group of three, they will be assigned a role. Throughout the duration of the program, participants will have an opportunity to perform each role. The roles are as follows

*Engineer - Holds the instructions and reads them to the supplier and the builder

*Supplier - Finds the bricks described by the engineer and gives them to the builder

*Builder - Puts the model together using bricks from the supplier and instructions from the engineer

Participants will arrive at 3:30 at which time they will be assigned to a group and role within their group. This will be followed by the team building until 4:10 at which time they will have an opportunity to decompress with free building until 4:25. The last five minutes will be dedicated to group clean up.

If you have any questions or require more information please do not hesitate to contact me. To register your child for “Building Blocks and Social Skills” please follow the link below and complete the google sheet.
