Today’s session focus: emotional regulation 🐟💛

Lawson and Ms. Amanda worked together to build a growing list of emotion words to support emotional awareness and functional communication. We took turns picking a fish and writing an emotion word for each one turning it into a fun, hands-on way to explore and label feelings.
