In this Ongoing Course, students will learn about and practice impulse control skills

Class experience

This class is taught in English.
Students will learn skills to develop and increase impulse control in various situations. 
I have a MS in clinical mental health and several years experience teaching children about and guiding them in impulse control.
Homework Offered
Students will be encouraged to practice concepts learned in class. Students will also be given access to optional worksheets to re-enforce topic content. Activities include things like: Word Searches, puzzles, helpful thought identification, etc. Parents/students are encouraged to email me with any questions that they have. It doesn't matter if you complete one topic or all 13, I am here to help :)

Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
It is wise for students to have access to paper and pencil and basic coloring supplies as these will often be used in class. Other materials will be posted to the classroom several days before the lesson and will always be common household items or handouts provided by the teacher. 
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students will be invited to make feeling statements during some lessons of the class and to share their progress in managing their impulses as I am a strengths based teacher. They are never required to do this, and examples will be kept very basic such as "I feel angry when my  sister takes my toy, but I use impulse control to not scream." The examples given are typical of children and are meant to help children understand the usefulness and application of the skills learned in class. Again, students can always decline.

Videos from YouTube will often be used during class meetings. Links will not be given to students. If specifically requested, links can be sent to parents. 

Blooket will be used to play games about things learned in class (and occasionally about fun topics  - i.e. food, animals - if students listen well and there is extra time.) Students can access the game via a link sent in the chat box by the teacher. Optional "homework" links of class quizzes may be posted to the classroom at student request. No account is needed for this, though students are welcome to use one if they have one. 

Curriculum for this course is based on the book "Impulse Control" Activities & Worksheets for Elementary School Students" By Tonia Caselman, Ph.D. Reproducible handouts from this book will often be used for this course.

I will use other sources as appropriate. Source information will be sited at that time. 

DISCLAIMER: My teaching of this course is in no way associated with the author or publisher of this material. I have adapted this material as appropriate to my online classroom.
