Fun & Learning at Home! Emotional Well-Being
STORY & SPANISH TIME - with MS. ANALIA
HOW ARE YOU FEELING? from Ms. Ann
In just the last 24 hours, I've been feeling -
JOYFUL WORRIED BORED LONELY AIMLESS HOPEFUL
SAD FRUSTRATED LOVED UNCERTAIN PEACEFUL GRATEFUL
Day by day, moment by moment feelings come and feelings go.
Name your FEELINGS
SHARE your feelings - in word, in song, in art, in action
BREATHE deep
Focus on the LOVE
Be GRATEFUL
At WWP, some of our emotional goals with the preschoolers include:
Naming emotions
Being able to express "I feel..."
Recognizing others' emotions
Learning what to do with those emotions. How to comfort oneself. For example: taking deep breaths, painting or coloring an angry/sad/happy picture, run or do jumping jacks, a big hug, talk with someone about it.
MINI YOGA COURSE - CALM BREATHING
from our friend, Jessie at Learning Tree Yoga
WWP families may remember Jessie from our Family Fun Night in October. She sent me this link on our last day of preschool, when I was feeling quite anxious about the unknown weeks to come. I did the breathing techniques along with the video and immediately was feeling calmer. It's amazing what a few deep breaths can do for little people and big people alike!
