Selamat Siang,

 

This Semester in Wellbeing, we have been exploring ways for students to take action on their emotions. Students have demonstrated that they can all confidently name the emotions they are feeling and have specific tools to help get back into the Green zone, ready for learning. You might like to ask your child about their Wellbeing sandwich and what tools they have to help them when they are in the red, blue and yellow zones. 

Additionally, we have been using a program called Life Skills Go, where students to pinpoint the exact feeling they are experiencing, the reasons they might be feeling that way and what they can immediately do to help regulate their emotions. We encourage families to continue these discussions about naming emotions and what strategies help to make us feel calm, happy or ready to learn.
