EEI CONNECTIONS

Self-Direction is the ability and learned skill to cast a vision of future goals and then take intentional steps toward who, where, and what we want to be. Instead of focusing on things to control or avoid, we emphasize our responsibility to make positive choices related to our emotions, attitudes, and actions.

The button below is the link to the Arkansas Refrigerator Curriculum Maps by grade level. They include what kids should be able to do and know by the end of their grade.

EXERCISE = FUN

When children are young, exercise isn’t exercise--it’s plain fun! Use these ideas for putting more physical activity into your youngster’s day.

SUPERMAN

Lie on your tummy with your arms straight out in front of you (as if you’re flying). Lift your chest, arms, and legs off the ground at the same time, and hold for five seconds. Lie back down. “Fly” 10 more times.

BUBBLE JUMPING JACKS

Have your child do jumping jacks as you blow bubbles toward her/him. How many bubbles can she/he pop as he/she jumps? Switch, and let her/him blow the bubbles as you do the jumping jacks.

FREEZE DANCE

Play music, and dance up a storm. When you stop the music, everyone freezes. Hold your poses for 10 seconds, and start the music back up.
