Self-Control

April's theme is Self-Control.  My tool for this month is the tape measure as I measure my actions and reactions carefully. All students are looking at self -control with big emotions.  We talked about what happens in our brains when we are faced with stress or fear or frustration and why it's hard to be in control. But, we also talked about how our amazing bodies give us signals to warn us so we have time to make choices that help us stay in control. And we're looking at lots of cool-down strategies to keep us in our upstairs brain.
