Did the lesson content/materials match the selected Mindsets and/or Behaviors skill? Why or why not?

Yes, the lesson content matched the mindset and behavior skills.

The YouTube video shown explains:

We all have big emotions and notice and identify your feelings (M1)

Identified coping strategies to feel better and gave examples (B-SMS 7)

Take action by practicing one or more coping skills (B-SMS 1)

Based on your opinion, how do you think that timing may have impacted the results of the lesson?

For consistency, I believe the Mindful Movement dance along either needed to be given before BOTH the pre and post assessment OR not have the dance along at all. Giving the post assessment after the dance along could have affected results given by students.

For the 2nd grade level, assessment is wordy and complex

I would simplify questions and answers would be pictures shown

I understand my feelings

I can name my feelings

I get in trouble for how I show my feelings

I know when my feelings will change my behavior

I know how to calm down

# data[].attributes.body
