Two pages after the cover. Page 1 has four boxes to fill: When I feel angry, sad, worried and excited, I can. Page 2 has picture cards to cut out, such as take deep breaths, count to 10, talk to a grown-up, hug a teddy bear, squeeze a soft ball and read a book, and a Try balloon breathing box: breathe in slowly, hold for 3 counts, let the air out and do it 3 times.
Can I use the Ways to Manage My Feelings at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade emotions, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are managing feelings resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these managing feelings resources for homeschool?

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
