Classroom Resources:
In class the students have set up a book of 'problems' and solutions they can use to help solve them, taking ownership for their problem.  We have a list of strategies that we have all come up with to use and to help us work on a solution to our problem.   Three steps to solving our problems.  There is also an emotional thermometer that we can resort to in order to help us realise where we are with our emotions.
