PurposeFull Pursuit:
At school, we use our Emotion Elements to represent different emotions. For us…
Bree represents emotions like silly, nervous, playful, or distracted.
Brooks represents emotions like sad, lonely, tired, or embarrassed.
Ember represents emotions like angry, frustrated, excited, or scared.
Terra represents emotions like calm, focused, proud, or happy.
As a family, create your own poster showing different emotions. For example: you could use emojis to represent different emotions and label them. Hang your poster in a central location. Each day, designate a time that your student will do an emotion check-in and tap the feeling they felt the most that day. This reminds your student of the emotion vocabulary they are learning at school and gives you insight into how they are feeling. Understanding other people’s feelings can help us grow in Empathy.
Conversation Starters:
How can you show Kindness here at home?
When you are practicing Strong Listening, how is that showing Kindness to others?
