Spacing Out
by Stephie McCumbee
Illustrated by Lisa M. Griffin
Show 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.

Review
“Stephie has a knack for teaching important lessons through her clever classroom tales, and Spacing Out! has proved her prowess once again. I love how this book explores the topic of off-task behaviors and daydreaming in such a student friendly way. The plentiful space references are a witty way to frame discussions about completing classroom ‘missions’ and open the door to increased student ownership!” – Amanda Nickerson, Third Grade Teacher, Consultant and Author/Education Blogger
