Some of you may have heard about Titi and Toto, our self-control stuffed turtles. In our classroom, first graders are thinking a lot about self control. It's something we can always work on - even as adults! The first graders know self control means having control over their bodies and minds. Like a turtle, we are practicing moving slowly and thinking BEFORE doing.
Our refill station is a place first graders go to REGAIN self control. Some strategies first graders use to calm down and refocus are: (1) count to 10; (2) think of something happy; (3) take deep breaths.

Titi and Toto love sitting with first graders showing
self control on the rug or at their tables. |
