How Are You Feeling? Preschool and Prek Social Emotional Class

In this class, we will practice talking about our feelings, learn feeling names and learn about calming strategies, problem-solving strategies and regulation tools and skills to use when we have BIG feelings. 

This interactive class will include learning through games, songs and interactive activities where students will participate by answering questions, singing along and playing games.

Each weekly class will start with songs and finger games and a story to get comfortable. We will then move onto learning activities where children will actively participate with movement, pictures and play to learn about naming feelings and practicing calming strategies and social emotional skills to use when we need them to move through our feelings. 

*This course does not support or provide a therapeutic outcome. It is a fun and interactive place to learn about feeling names and social and emotional skills

Here is an example of a weekly class and please check the syllabus to see what lesson and topics we will be covering each week throughout our 12-week course together! 

In week 1: We will go over the names of common and not so common feelings. We will read a story, sing a song and children will participate in a feelings name game and activity. 
We will talk about all feelings being OK to feel and how we will learn strategies throughout our classes to help us to process, problem solve and to stay safe, calm and kind when we have BIG feelings. 

In week 2: We will review our talk of feelings from the previous week through pictures, sharing and songs. We will then work on learning what a calming strategy is, and we will learn and practice different calming strategies. Through pictures and a game, children will have a chance to see pictures of strategies, to practice doing them and then complete an activity to share which ones they use or want to try.
