Fifth grade students at Upper Scioto Valley recently completed the 4-H Your Feelings Matter program.
The program was let by OSU Extension Educators, Amanda Raines and Jami Dellifield, who co-authored the new project book on mental health and feelings. This curriculum is available for 4-H members to complete through their community club or can be adapted for classroom use.
USV students participated in three days of activities that covered naming your feelings, learning your temperament, understanding reactions, using words, being a good friend and being resilient. Youth gained skills for talking about their emotions with others and developing resilience. In the final activity of the program, youth made their own meditation jars and learned how to use them for calming down and focusing.
