Are your students' struggles with self-regulation impacting not only their learning but the entire classroom environment? This Managing Emotions SEL Unit gives you everything you need to build a classroom where students understand their emotions, develop emotional intelligence, and practice the self-control and regulation skills they need to thrive.
NOTE: This character education unit is also included in the SEL Morning Meeting Bundle 3 with four additional themes.
Through analyzing social scenarios in suggested read alouds, reflecting and journaling with managing emotions-focused prompts, and participating in emotional regulation activities, students will learn to identify and navigate a range of emotions — including anger, sadness, stress, jealousy, anxiety, and worry — and develop the coping skills needed to handle big and small moments with resilience and calm.
