Ourselves and Others Gr 1-6
$45 Teacher: Lara Watkins
Whether on the playground with friends or within our own homes with family, our feelings can impact our interactions. Understanding and appropriately expressing our emotions is critical for long term success and happiness. Through a variety of activities tailored to our specific group of students, you will work toward expressing your feelings and developing an awareness and appreciation of the feelings of others. You will practice ways to manage inner and interpersonal conflict and appreciate others perspectives.
Loosely based on the “Don’t Laugh at Me” curriculum by Operation Respect, the class will focus on constructively expressing and managing feelings, building community, resolving conflict, and celebrating diversity, thereby helping to cultivate emotional intelligence. Students should be able to follow directions.Max 8 students

Students should dress to move and wear sneakers and socks (if you happen to have hip hop or jazz shoes you can wear those). You don’t have to have danced before to take this class — new students are welcome! However, because of the short amount of time every class, I won’t always be able to focus on every child individually. Students must be able to follow directions, work as a group, and be willing to participate in all exercises and activities. Get ready to move to the music!
