❥ Generating Weekly Goals: Here's a social/emotional goal to use when we need to calm ourselves; We will calm and relax ourselves when we're nervous or scared. One way is belly breathing. Another is to focus on a word or sound.

❥ Using Both Sides of the Brain: Here's a way to help the sides of the brain communicate. Clap once, hit your knees once. Next, clap, hit your knees, then touch your left shoulder, clap, then touch your right shoulder. You can also pair up with someone and play Pattycake.

❥ Reflecting on Goals: Have you been doing belly breathing when you feel nervous? One way to track your goals is to tape a card to a desk or table and put a tally mark each time you feel nervous and use belly breathing to calm down.

❥ Introducing Strengths: There are eight ways to be smart; reading & writing, math & logic, spatial smart, musical intelligence, people smart, self smart and nature smart. We will talk more about each in future lessons.
