KITS Rocks!!

Spring is MARCHing our way!  Flowers begin to emerge, we get to plan and start our gardens, the sun begins to warm our skin, and we awake from our winter hibernation.  Planning an outside adventure is a fabulous way to celebrate the newness of the season!

KITS ROCKS is the perfect adventure for this celebration!  All you need is a list of the parks as they are released, a map (if you are unsure where the parks are located), some curiosity, and the spirit of a treasure hunter.

For your family’s fun-filled enjoyment KITS has planted groovy, inspirational, hand painted rocks in parks across Lane County.  Each week in March we will feature a park in Lane County that has these hidden treasures carefully placed.  And for a Bonus Round we will feature a new park every day during Spring Break, March 23-29.  You will know they are KITS rocks because they will have @KITSPrograms on the back.

“What to do?!?”, you ask

  • Check in below to find out what new park has been added every Friday March  8th, 15th, and 22nd.
  • For the Spring Break Bonus Round check here daily March 23-29.
  • Search the park thoroughly when you arrive. Unless the squirrels carry the rocks away, you will find them!
  • Take a selfie with the rock.
  • And enter to win prizes by sharing it with us!
    • Post to Instagram and tag @KITSPrograms If your Instagram profile is set to private we will not be notified! If so, direct message us
    • Or post to Facebook and tag @KidsInTransitionToSchool
    • Or email us directly kits@oslc.org
      …and let us know if it’s ok to post your rock photo to social media (we will enter you in the drawing either way)
  • Then…. leave the rocks for the next treasure hunters to find.

KITS will post a weekly shout out to our treasure hunters who have posted their awesome, rock selfies and mentioned us @KITSPrograms.

Anyone who posts a rock selfie on Instagram or Facebook will also be entered into a drawing to win prizes, like tickets for laser tag or to DEFY Eugene Extreme Air Sports.

The biggest bonus is that you can claim this adventure anytime because we are going to leave the rocks in the parks!  When your treasure hunt leads you to the rocks six months or a year from now, take a selfie, and mention us @KITSPrograms on Instagram.  We will be watching for you!

To see the full schedule of parks and when to expect KITS rocks to appear, click here: Park Schedule for KITS Rocks Spring 2019. Remember, rocks won’t be placed in a park until the day the search is supposed to start for that park.

Let the KITS rock hunt begin!

Using Modeling to Teach New Skills

Here at KITS, we talk a lot about modeling the behaviors and attitudes that we’d like our children to learn. We know that children learn

The KITS Programs are a family of evidence-based curricula that promote school success by strengthening children’s skills, increasing parental involvement, and supporting educators across the transition to kindergarten.

Coaching and Videotaping

KITS uses ongoing coaching to support educators in the implementation of the model. We do this through viewing groups on video, weekly team meetings, and fidelity monitoring. Your team will record KITS School Readiness and Parent Groups and upload each session to a secure online platform (such as Box.com). The videos are only used as a means to support KITS staff. We promise it’s not scary!

Your KITS team will meet every week to talk about what is working well and areas where you may be experiencing challenges. During these meetings, teams and coaches will work together to problem-solve challenges, offer support and encouragement, and celebrate successes!

If parents or students do not wish to be recorded, they can be seated out of view or for online parent groups they may turn off their cameras.
