Social Emotional Learning at Carver

Second Step Unit 2 Lesson 8

In this week’s Second Step lesson, students learned strategies for recognizing and managing strong emotions, such as anger and frustration. They practiced identifying physical signs of these feelings and explored ways to pause and regain control before reacting. These skills are designed to help students make thoughtful choices and interact positively with others.
