3rd-5th Grade
This week we explored the varying intensity of feelings and appropriate ways to express and manage them. In most classes we read the book " The Color Monster" by Anna LLenas. We talked about people can experience different feelings and intensity of feelings from other people who experience the same thing. Each class listed several strategies they could use at school or at home when they are experiencing strong emotions and want to express or cope with it in a healthy way. Some examples included: Breathing Counting to 10 slowly Reading a Book Thinking about something that made us happy or that we were thankful for. Talk to a friend Talk to a trusted adult. We also agreed it is important when feeling strong emotions, to STOP, Name Our Emotions and then pick a strategy that will help us in the given situation. Comments are closed.
