We have been talking about feelings this week in the 2's classroom. The other teachers and I have been labeling emotions that we are seeing around the classroom. Then we talk about appropriate actions everyone can take when they are experiencing those different emotions.
For example if a child is angry and throwing toys, a teacher may say, "Your face looks angry, are you feeling angry?" Then the teacher will let the child know that its not safe to throw toys when they are angry, and help them find a different solution. We also remind the children that they can go in the peace place and relax whenever they are feeling mad, sad, angry or tired.
