Recognizing & Managing Emotions

During the month of October, Saklan students will focus on recognizing and managing their emotions as part of our Social-Emotional Learning program. The image below is hanging in all classrooms, and the students will discuss what emotions are, how to recognize them, and how to manage them throughout the month, including in Advisory, Morning Meeting, and other class time activities.

One tool that is being shared with students to help them in their pursuit of recognizing the sharing emotions is the chart below. The colors and emojis make this a chart that is good for students of all ages to help them identify their current emotional state. The strategies at the bottom of the chart are meant to help students get back to The Green Zone, where they feel calm. This can be a great tool to use at home too!

On Tuesday, October 29th, first – eighth grade students will meet with their family groups to further discuss recognizing and managing emotions, and participate in collaborative activities to further illuminate this month’s focus.
