Bug Feeling Strategies

We LOVE when our guidance counselor, Mrs. Sitsch, and Ruthie Bell come to visit us!!  Each time they visit us Mrs. Sitsch helps us with our feelings and friends.  This week she came into our classroom and taught us a new "bug feeling strategy".  The strategy can be used if you are feeling frustrated with yourself.  It is called "take a break".  To use this strategy you walk away from whatever task you are engaged in and after you have taken your break you go back and return to the task.  A sign that we learned to show others that we need to "take a break" is to make a "T" with our hands.  You can see this in the picture below.  All of the strategies that Mrs. Sitsch has taught us have been great!  My personal favorite is the "bubble breathing"!  Ask your child if they have been using their "bug feeling strategies"!  If they are, see which ones are their favorite!
