I have several students on my caseload who struggle with anger management and emotional regulation. I loved this idea for Cool Down Cubes from Entirely Elementary and decided to make a set of my own. Supplies: Plastic ice cubes - I purchased a bag of 30 from Bed Bath & Beyond for less than $4 Container - The one pictured came from the Dollar Store Permanent maker Using a permanent marker write a safe "cool down" strategy on each ice cube. For example: count to ten, walk away, talk to a friend, take three deep breaths, etc. I also left a few of the cubes blank so that the students could come up with their own strategies. The original post suggested placing the ice cubes in the freezer for an additional "cool" effect. That's it! Easy right? I have used the Cool Down Cubes in both individual and group settings to discuss ways to "cool-off" when angry and have gotten a great response from students.

March is Self-Control Month! I had some requests from teachers to move this to the beginning of the school year, so that might be an idea for next year. For most of my guidance lessons I focused on the Stop, Think, and Act process before speaking or acting. This is reflected in my bulletin board for this month. In-between all of the stop lights with "Stop, Think, Act" written on them, there are some examples of how to show self-control. 5th Grade Self-Control Kites I got this idea from this website, but changed it around a bit to fit my students. We discussed the quote on the kite "You can't always control the wind, but you can control your sails" and how it can be used in our own lives. Close up of the kite and quote. The kite tags read: "Stop and Think", "Manage Your Emotions", "Take Responsibility", and "Believe in Yourself". We discussed how each of these helps up to show better self-control. The students really enjoyed making their kites and took pride in personalizing theirs. They will be hung in the hallway until the end of the month, but the kids are very eager to take them home. 6th Grade Self-Control Yield Signs For my 6th grade lessons, we discussed how traffic signs can help us remember to use self-control. I found the inspiration here, but again changed it to meet our needs. We discussed how it can be hard to show self-control when faced with temptations. Some of the temptations we talked about were dealing with anger in the wrong way (hitting, using foul language, saying mean things), spreading rumors or talking about someone behind their back, not taking responsibility (goofing around in class, talking in class, not completing work). The yield signs says "Show SELF-CONTROL and have the DETERMINATION not to YIELD to temptations! God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13"

Nope! That's not a typo! As I mentioned in an earlier post, our school is working hard to become recognized a school of character. A few weeks ago we had some teachers from the Kirkwood School District come to observe the great things that we are putting into place here at Plattin! Quite an honor! I decided to use the book, Do Unto Otters, to teach my lesson. Do Unto Otters is about Mr. Rabbit who learns he is about to have new neighbors: OTTERS! He is very concerned if they will get along and he doesn't know just what to do. Mr. Owl comes along and shares some wise advice with him, telling him to treat otters the way you want to be treated! Mr. Rabbit shares all of the ways he would like to be treated. The kids loved the book with all of the cute pictures and jokes throughout! To get the students predicting what they think the book would be about and grab their attention, I showed the trailer from You Tube. Find it here. After reading the book, we created a T-chart labeled, "I wanted others to..." and "So I will..." The students easlily could come up with ways they wanted to be treated. On a second day to review the concept, I showed another video from You Tube. It shows an animated part from the book. Check it out here. Students also drew pictures to show how they wanted to be treated and how they planned to treat others. Since it's at the beginning of the year, I wrote for the students. "The Blue Jay Way" is our overarching term we use for our expectations in various parts of the school such as hallway behavior, classroom behavior, etc. To get these activities and the sign I used to hang with our display in the hall, click on the image below.
Hey Friends! This week my kids came back to school and although everything is happy go lucky at the moment, there will come a time when behaviors start to spread through the room like wildfire. Last year I had two kids that were ‘tiered’ for behavior. This means that they had frequent outbursts and required support from a behavioral specialist. To be honest, it drove me to tears. Last year was the first time I ever cried in front of my kids because I was so hurt by what one of my little friends whom I love so dearly did and said. This year is a new year and my wonderful amazing school counselor gave me some excellent ideas that I feel are too amazing not to share. As I write this post, I want you to reflect on any of your past kids that displayed some sort of unruly behavior. Yes, it really is true. If a kid is testing you, with all your might and soul don’t engage. For starters, you might lose. Take a moment… What is “that phrase” a student says that just gets under your skin? What line has gotten you into an argument? “I’m […]

It is the perfect lesson for a school counselor on the go to teach students about regulating emotions and coping with life's uncomfortable situations.

This bundle includes the following documents: -An editable PowerPoint presentation that is ready to be used in the classroom. -A detailed, step-by-step lesson plan that is aligned with ASCA standards. -A student activity sheet to accompany the lesson and help maximize students' learning. (This worksheet can also be used in individual or group counseling as well!) Check out the preview for a sample of the lesson.
