Managing Emotions

Posted: November 2, 2021

“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.”

–Lao Tze

Hello Families,

Today's activities will help students draw attention to their own emotions and feelings. Some activities also ask student to reflect on times when they had to process unpleasant feelings. Emotion management is the ability to be aware of and constructively handle both positive and challengin emotions. Emotion management also helps youth manage the situations that trigger emotions, and attune to the valuable information and motivation emotions can provide when they are understood. By helping youth learn the skills to manage their emotions, youth learn to process a range of feelings, while also learning self-advocacy skills that will help them in school, work, and life.

Strengths and Challengess

Reposted for easier access.

Good Morning Families,

As we transition to home learning I will be using my teacher page to post suggested activities to support the Social and Emotional Learning of your child(ren). Please use these activities at your own discretion and as needed.

Today's Focus: Strengths and Challenges

Students who can identify their strengths will be more likely to build on them to improve their areas of growth; they will probably have a greater motivation and will be more self-confident.

This choice board can be used to get your child(ren) thinking about their own strengths and challenges. Choose one or choose all, it is completely up to you. Students may complete the activities on paper or through a simple discussion with you, whichever you decide.

Have a great day!

Mrs. Dunnett
