What students walk away with
Every Big Head Bob assembly is built around social-emotional learning kids can actually use the next day:
- Mindfulness and calming down when feelings get big
- Growth mindset and turning a weakness into a strength
- Emotional intelligence and naming what you feel
- Inclusion and standing up for kids who are different
It's a performance first: a live read of an award-winning Big Head Bob book, a dance session, and a Q&A where students get to ask David anything. The message lands because kids are having fun, not because they're being lectured.
