What teachers are saying

  “How aware they have become not only of their own feelings, but also of others. Talking about what we notice on the chart and how we can help friends if they aren’t in the yellow had carried over into other parts of the day and I have heard kids say, ‘do you need a hug to get to yellow?’”

  “I have noticed that they sometimes misunderstand their emotions. It has helped students better understand their feelings and willingness to talk about them.”

  “How honest the students are about sharing their feelings. I love how they relate it back to the lessons and describe what’s causing the feeling and where they notice it in their body. It’s my favorite way to start the day.” 

  “I am more aware of who might need a lift in the morning or who may need reassurance that how they are feeling is OK which leads to a better day for them.”

  “Kids being aware of their feelings. Me knowing the kids are ready to learn.”

  “Great sharing and conversations around feelings, the student are more aware of their feelings.”

  “Students are more willing to share their feelings with one another.”
