Kindergarten:

We have been learning about calming ourselves down. We are practicing strategies that help us calm down from strong feelings and stay in control.

1st Grade:

We have been learning ways to think that encourage stopping and thinking before acting impulsively. We are practicing strategies that help us process ways to make good choices.

2nd Grade:

We are studying ways to solve problems. We have learned it is much easier to solve problems if you calm down first. We have also practiced ways to interact with others that help us make more friends.

3rd Grade:

We are learning that it is possible to get angry and stay in control even when it feels like you can't. We are practicing ways of thinking that make it easier to stay in control of our emotions.
