Summary:

In this week’s lesson, your child will learn two ways to help themselves feel calm when they encounter strong feelings: asking for help and slow breathing.

Try This at Home:

Ask your child to tell you some ways they’ve learned to feel calm when they get upset. Have them teach you how to use slow breathing to feel calm.

First Grade

Summary:

In this week’s lesson, your child will learn to use body language and context clues to figure out when someone feels frustrated. They’ll practice looking at the person’s face and body, as well as thinking about what’s going on in the situation. They’ll also learn about a new strategy for feeling calm when they get frustrated: slow counting.

Try This at Home:

Encourage your child to notice when others around them feel frustrated. Have them practice using body language and context clues to figure out when family members, friends, or characters in books, movies, or on TV might be feeling frustrated.

Second Grade

Summary:

In this week’s lesson, your child will learn that we can feel disappointed when something we want or expect does not happen.

Try This at Home:

Remind your child that everyone feels disappointed sometimes. Ask them what they can do to feel better the next time they’re feeling disappointed.

Third Grade

Summary:

In this week’s lesson, your child will learn words for three degrees of anger: annoyed, angry, and furious.

Try This at Home:

Ask your child to explain the differences between feeling annoyed, angry, and furious.

Fourth Grade

Summary:

In this week’s lesson, your child’s class will work together to identify roadblocks that might be getting in the way as they work toward their 2-week goal. Then they’ll decide what they can change to remove or get around their roadblocks.

Try This at Home:

Ask your child if they’ve run into any roadblocks while working toward their class goal. If so, how will they work around them? Tell your child about a time you ran into a roadblock and what you did to overcome it.
