Jefferson and York Kindergarten:
We are learning ways to calm down from strong feelings
(deep breaths, counting, safe place and self talk) We are seeing why we need these strategies, how they help us, and practicing them. This helps us to be more likely to use them when we need to stay in control. We are also learning that staying in control helps you have more friends and do better in school.
