In wellness we have been working on differentiating between things that are in our control, like our thoughts and feelings, and those that are out of our control, such as the weather. In kindergarten, we read Alexander and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Next, we sorted his experiences into two categories: in his control and outside his control. Then students worked in pairs on a similar sorting activity using problems they might face. Finally, we talked about how focusing on things outside our control can lead to unnecessary stress and how focusing on what is in our control can help us to solve problems and make changes to reduce stress.
