SEPTEMBER

Feelings: Students will learn about feelings with the help of the cute characters from the movie Inside Out.  We talk about how we can have so many different feelings all in one day. Students will work towards being able to identify physical cues and how their classmate may be feeling by watching their facial expressions and body language. 

Mood Meter: This is the second tool from the RULER Program.  Students will learn about different zones of feelings. We learn our level of energy and pleasantness helps us know which zone we are in. Whether it is Red, Yellow, Green or Blue. (For more information on the Ruler Program please follow click on the Ruler link above.)

Coping Skills: Students learn skills that will help them when emotions get too big and uncomfortable.  Coping skills such as deep breathing or the 5 senses help students shift zones and calm themselves down to make positive choices.
