This one-day, COVID compliant workshop for children in grades K-5 blends social emotional learning (SEL), art, literacy, and environmental education to foster mindfulness, creativity, and a love of literacy, while cultivating an open mindset. Each session begins with mindful moments, followed by participation in the presentation of an illustrated children’s story and class discussion about a variety of social and emotional concepts; like kindness, feelings, positive thinking, perseverance, acceptance, empathy, and diversity. The session closes with a creative activity, positive affirmations, and self-reflection. Art in the Park will be hosted outdoors at Fairlawn Veterans Memorial Park in Pawtucket.
