MOOD METER
The Mood Meter helps students identify their emotions throughout the day and supports them when they’d like to shift to a different emotion. Using the Mood Meter is quick and easy, helping students expand their emotional vocabulary.
This is a scale we use throughout the day to help students learn that there are levels to all emotions. When people understand the intensity of their emotions, they are better prepared to select the best strategy for the situation.
At this age, clear expectations for students during independent and group activities is essential for success. This rubric is used throughout the day to help students understand the expectations and set goals for improvement.
This lesson is adapted from the Harmony SEL curriculum. It teaches students that everyone enters into conflicts with different perspectives. We teach students to reflect on their current mindset before engaging in conversations. We teach strategies to help all students to be more like the Wise Owl.
