Counselor Lessons in December
In December all students are learning about emotions and emotion management during counselor lessons. The younger grades, K, 1st and 2nd, will be focusing on recognizing emotions from the facial expressions and body language of others. We will go beyond the happy, mad, sad and dive into deeper emotions. They will also be learning how to recognize these emotions in themselves and what steps to take to regulate them.
The older grades, 3rd 4th and 5th grades will be reviewing the brain science behind emotions and focusing on how that plays into managing their own emotions. Students will learn to recognize when they need to step away from a situation and calm down before reacting and how to use their own personal Power Plans to regulate emotions.
December Curriculum Connections
Check out the linked Curriculum Connections below to see what our Timberwolves will be working on in each subject area during the month of December! We want to share the learning topics at all of the grade levels so that you are familiar with what topics and content are taught this month! Your child's teacher is always happy to provide more details should you have questions!
