My Project

Hello! I am an educator who puts important feelings first to strengthen students’ social-emotional learning and empathy through activities.

I went to a training of Kimochis and now I need the materials to bring these to life in my classroom.

What Kimochis are:

“On the surface, we’re a family of cuddly critters and a big bowl of emotions. Underneath, we’re a proven system for helping kids grow and transform by dealing skillfully with their feelings.”

What Kimochis do:

“We help kids feel happy, safe, confident, compassionate and successful.

We help them establish and sustain strong friendships.

We help kids get along with each other.

We help them become resilient, especially during these trying times.”
