Coffee before coping

This is a fun way to discuss different coping strategies that students can use. Students can search for different coping skills, and discuss each one they find. The teacher/parent can facilitate whether students would want to use that coping skill when they are managing big emotions.

This organizer helps assist students struggling with Executive functioning needs. Before the class starts, I use this to outline how the class will go for the day, and leave this flow chart on students desks that need it. It will explain what the student will be doing first, what activity/task comes next, a third column for another activity, task and a finally section for homework or anchor activities. This helps students stay on task without getting frustrated.

This poster allows children to better understand when their anger is coming on, and how to recognize symptoms from what your body is telling you.
