Why: Social emotional skills are the skills that allow us to understand ourselves and to form healthy relationships with other people. These skills include the ability to recognize and manage emotions, to take the perspective of others, and to effectively resolve conflicts. Social emotional skills are developed through the experiences of daily living, and can also be taught and practiced. Research has shown that acquiring social emotional skills supports academic achievement and prevents risky behaviors (Dulak, et. Al 2011). These competencies serve as a foundation for making responsible decisions that support individual well-being, and more broadly, support healthy communities.
Presenters include Cherry Crest staff: Tammy Waddell, Dan Sakaue, Carmen Corra and Dusty Steere
Cherry Crest Robotics Jamboree
This year’s teams are invited to a showcase of their FLL robots and their research projects. Parents and kids who are considering coaching / participating on a team in the fall of 2016 are welcome to come check out the action, and to enjoy some ice cream together as we celebrate this season’s accomplishments, and share ideas between teams that are continuing to the semifinals. We’ll have a competition table, and each team will be invited to run their robot, and to give their 5 minute research project presentation to the group. The event will be coordinated by Cherry Crest alumna, the Bellevue Bellebots.
