DESCRIPTION:Grades 3 to 4.\nhttps://wpl.libnet.info/event/13520709
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join Leonarda for a fun and interactive se
 ssion on anger and social and emotional learning. Leonarda will read her p
 icturebook\, Fighting Words\, and prompt children to notice the consequenc
 es and impact of unfiltered explosive anger and how we can repair and lear
 n to be accountable.</p>\n<p>Together we will examine some misconceptions 
 about anger\, challenging the idea that anger is a negative emotion that i
 t is wrong or bad. We will build an awareness of anger as a normal part of
  our human emotions/feelings\, explore the intrinsic value of anger and ho
 w to share anger in ways that are respectful. What happens to our bodies w
 hen we get angry? Participants will follow along in a prompt-based activit
 y. They will be asked to think about a time when they were angry. Did they
  do something that they regretted? Participants will be asked to talk\, wr
 ite and draw their own story about anger and strategies to manage it with 
 care. How do we turn fighting words into community building words? By the 
 end of the session\, students will come away with the beginnings of their 
 story\, and strategies for how to manage and share their anger in respectf
 ul ways.</p>\n<p>This workshop is great for homeschoolers and students in 
 grades 3 and 4 (caregivers and teachers welcome)!</p>\n<p><strong></strong
