Choose Love - Courage Unit

Kipling has adopted the school theme "Color Your World With Kindness" this year. In the spirit of helping students understand what kindness means and how to show kindness to others, the 3rd grade is using the Choose Love Enrichment Program to directly teach lessons on social emotional learning.

The Choose Love Formula is: Courage + Gratitude + Forgiveness + Compassion.

We are finishing up our first unit on Courage. It takes courage to be grateful, especially when things aren't going your way. It takes courage to forgive, especially when the person who hurt you isn't sorry and it takes courage to step outside your own busy life to help others.

The students have learned a few different strategies to help them be courageous:

• Brave Breaths
• Brave Pose
• Hug the Human
• CALM

Ask your child to show you their Brave Pose and how to take a Brave Breath when they are feeling anxious or worried.
