Kimochis

All feelings are okay, all behaviors are not

Our students often experience big emotions in our classrooms and an important part of our job as educators is to help our students name and manage these feelings. Our district has adopted The Kimochis SEL curriculum which provides our students with the tools to express their feelings and manage their behaviors.

Kimochis Implementation

The expectation for Kimochis will be that all classrooms TK-5th are using this program as part of their Tier 1 SEL curriculum.

School sites will have flexibility to determine whether a monthly Kimochis focus or a weekly Kimochis focus works best for their context.

Monthly Focus

Kimochis Year at a Glance Roadmap

This option would provide schools with a slower roll out while still hitting on the core Kimochis skills.

Weekly Focus

The Kimochis Portal provide a strong scope and sequence for weekly lessons with the materials already curated for easy use.

This information is also available in the Feel Guide (the spiral bound teacher resource that comes with each kit)

You can also access this google slidedeck for supports for the weekly focus:
