Parents and Guardians,
Hello! In this newsletter we will be discussing what we can do to calm ourselves down when we are feeling upset. Like I mentioned before, all emotions are normal. Learning happens best when it is done both at school and at home. Below are many ways that you can help your child continue to learn about emotions, through reading about it, talking about it, and practicing it! Thank you and have a great day!
