SEL: Training Aliens 3rd-6th
Class | Registration opens 7/21/2025 10:00 AM
Training Aliens teaches social and emotional skills in a fun, confidence-building way. NASA has asked Space Camp attendees to teach visiting aliens about making friends, managing emotions, and participating in groups as part of a test program.
When the aliens have difficulty with a skill, campers are given two common options to manage the behavior. Using a you-choose format, campers learn that both options are ineffective with humorous consequences.
After reading the story in the text, teachers lead campers through the related mission to find appropriate solutions.
Students grow in confidence as they learn skills they need to train aliens about:
Meeting new people
Managing frustration
Joining a group
Sibling rivalry
Apologies & More
- Students will receive a hard bound copy of Wonder to keep.
