Spacing Out! shows kids who day dream and procrastinate the benefits of completing tasks, a critical social-emotional learning skill needed for school success. Hunter Lane loves to read about space, draw pictures about space, and imagines himself soaring through the atmosphere as an astronaut some day! But unfortunately for Hunter, his day dreams about space are interfering with his ability to get his work done in class. Hunter learns to use a checklist of steps for the social skill “Completing a Task” and discovers that focusing and following through on assignments make him accomplish more in school, and provide good practice for becoming an astronaut! This richly illustrated picture book supports academic and social skill development.
Includes notes for parents and educators.
