Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 2

Beginner Level

Embark on a thoughtful journey into the Yellow Zone, where we'll explore the realm of worry and anxiety. Join me for an inspiring reading of "Ruby Finds a Worry" by Tom Percival, as students discover the power of emotions and create their very own worry monsters.

In this class, my mission is to guide students in recognizing expressions and body language associated with the Yellow Zone while engaging in interactive activities. Drawing inspiration from "Ruby Finds a Worry," we'll explore...

1. Emotional Awareness and Expression: Develop the ability to recognize and express emotions associated with the Yellow Zone (worry/anxiety), fostering emotional intelligence and self-awareness.

2. Worry Management Strategies: Acquire age-appropriate and creative strategies to address and manage worries, empowering young minds with practical tools for navigating the Yellow Zone.

3. Creative Expression and Coping: Cultivate a supportive and imaginative environment for creative expression through the creation of worry monsters, providing a tangible outlet for expressing and managing worries while fostering resilience.

Before diving into the enriching content of this class, I want to assure parents that our discussions will not be therapeutic in nature. I understand that families have varying comfort levels around certain subjects. Students will be exposed to emotional literacy vocabulary and make connections with book characters, building comprehension and emotional intelligence.
