Watch, Listen and Learn
December 18, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
“Watch, Listen and Learn”
Thermal – FPS Youth Dept.
(1st to 5th grade)
15 eligible youth will be invited to sign-up for the “Watch, Listen and Learn” event. The event will be held December 18, 2023.
We will be using visual learning to communicate with the youth. The youth will be watching, listening and learning while watching a video. We will ask them a question after the video: What kind of attitude does the characters have? Why do you think he are she is acting that way? Why do you think the characters attitude changes after his are her situation changes? These are just some of the question will ask.
When we read aloud or watch videos with our children it is beneficial for their cognitive development, activating brain areas related to narrative compression and mental imagery.
Youth are encouraged to use their imagination and enhance their curiosity and tend to adjust and excel even in adverse environments. Youth who have developed a sense of self-worth and confidence are more likely to succeed academically and less likely to partake in self-destructive behaviors.
At the end of the event an evaluation will be conducted by the event coordinator. Supplies will be provided by the FPS Youth Department.
