I Manage Me Classroom Lesson
SUMMARY:
This lesson aims to enhance students' understanding of how the brain regulates emotions. Every student is encouraged to develop practical skills to cope with feelings of fear, anxiety, and sadness. This lesson reinforces the "I Manage Me" Friendzy catchphrase and includes two slide decks for K-8 learners and another for high school.
Your students will explore the emotional, smart, and survival brain during this lesson. To facilitate their learning and encourage them to apply these concepts throughout the school year, we recommend you print the "Our Amazing Brain" poster. This poster will serve as a reference for what they've learned, helping them tune into how their brains function and manage their daily emotions effectively.
