Curriculum
Kimochis are a kid-friendly resource for communication of students' feelings and personal experiences. In each session, students pick out the Kimochi doll that corresponds with their current feelings and discuss their choices. The large characters are used to tell stories of common experiences that we have with our feelings and how to resolve them in healthy ways.

The Zones of Regulation are a resource we use to help students understand how their feelings affect their behavior and how to change their patterns to get to a "Green Zone." The concepts of the Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green zones help the students to assess their emotions and understand what can be done to help them be ready to learn and succeed.
