Instructional Ideas

  • Great for the start of the school year, this can be the starting activity for talking more about learning and working on dealing with frustration while learning

Classroom Considerations

  • It's unclear from the plan procedures whether individuals write their own verses or if you compose several as a class; choose what works best for your learners

Pros

  • See the materials tab for the song; child-friendly audio recording and lyrics are both included
  • Combines discussion, movement, song, and art in order to encourage kids to accept their emotions

Cons

  • None
