Week 12
The Imagine Neighborhood|5/30/2020
This week in The Imagine Neighborhood, Scotty and Macho Supreme need to find a solution to their problem: Macho needs an extra oven to bake a humongous batch of cookies for Nana Supreme’s birthday. But Scotty needs this oven to stay in his house because... well, because it's his oven! But when Macho comes over and rips the oven out of the wall, he and Scotty will need to talk about different ways to ask for the things you want and what happens when you don’t get them. Macho finds a great way to ask, complete with macho poses, and even discovers a great way to feel better if he’s disappointed by the answer!In this episode, we’re talking about how to ask respectfully for what you want and need ‒ and how to accept when the answer is no. Scotty and Macho Supreme practice asking for what they want: they take a deep breath and ask in a calm, respectful voice. It’s totally okay to feel bummed out if you don’t get the answer you want, but there’s always a good way to handle that feeling, too!For the rest of our season, we’re sharing daily activities that align with each episode of The Imagine Neighborhood. Head over to ImagineNeighborhood.org and check out our Emotion Experiments with Dr. Sherri and Music Corner with Mr. Music Man Lindsay Jones!

Niko Draws a Feeling by Robert Raczka
Niko loves to draw his world: the ring-a-ling of the ice cream truck, the warmth of sun on his face. But no one appreciates his art. Until one day, Niko meets Iris . . .
This imaginative and tender story explores the creative process, abstract art, friendship, and the universal desire to feel understood.
