Based on books by the award-winning author Julia Cook, this class will address big feelings of anger that come up for everyone, what is happening in the brain, ways to contain it and how to express it well! Lessons will include integrations of reading, math, science and social skills. Kids will be encouraged at this class to develop relationships with each other, so that they can recognize one another at other AnySchoolers classes and event. Lessons use art activities, labs, group discussions, games and sensory exercises.
