It's important to teach our younger students that having more than one emotion at a time is ok and is what is called ‘mixed feelings’. I have a colleague that hosts a rotating kindergarten learning pod for her son. Certainly, there have been lots of emotions experienced by both parents and kinders. Many of the activities that they are learning have been enhanced by using Social Emotional Learning Tools. Most recently her learning pod used the Elementary SEL Planner to help the kindergartners in exploring their emotions.
It's important that we provide opportunities for our young students to express themselves accordingly. Here are a few tools to do so.
Check out a few pictures of how our SEL planners are used in action from a real kindergarten pod!
