EMOTIONAL LITERACY

Problem solving
This week the teachers will be empowering the children to solve their own problems, by practicing these 4 short steps.
1. Identify the problem
 
2. Identify the feeling.
 
3. Think of possible solutions
 
4. Decide what you are going to do.
 
*A smile is cheer from you to me,
the cost is nothing it’s given for free.
They console the weary and gladden the sad.
And can make someone happy when they are mad.
Unlike blessings in which we pray
it’s the only thing you keep when you give it away.
