Ss didn't know about the activity beforehand or that we would do 2 emotion checks. They could not believe it! We then discussed what this means.......they realized that looking at nature, real or pictures, can be a calming strategy!

The pleasant emotions shared almost doubled, the calm emotions shared increased 10 fold, the unpleasant emotions shared fell by more than half. This is extraordinary! The power of #SEL , providing our students with life strategies they can use and understand? Priceless! #SELfirst
The whole activity took 10 minutes.
