During the months of January and February the students will learn how to better cope with "Teasing". A video presenting "Chester the Cat" will teach them how not to react in a "HOT" manner(yelling or harming another person), or a "COLD" manner(walking away or crying), but how to be "COOL"(remaining calm, cool, and collected). Please help them practice what they have learned at home. Ask them about how Chester would handle himself?
