"We learned about Self-Control and how to manage our emotions using the following strategies:
Take Deep Breaths
Take a meta moment to imagine your best self
Count to 10
Walk Away
Let it go
Talk it out
We learned the difference between someone being rude and bullying. Bullying is when someone is purposefully mean over and over even after you have used strategies to ask them to stop. When bullying occurs, there is an imbalance of power (the person is bigger, older, or meaner) and you are genuinely afraid of them.
Strategies to use for a bullying situation:
Get help from your teacher or another adult supervising you.
Tell what strategies you have tried.
Tell how often it happens, when it happens, and where it happens."
-Mrs. Angie
