FACS have been talking about stress. They talked about the symptoms that go along with stress and talked about coping methods for stress.
The students did a stress test to self evaluate their own stress level. The students learned some breathing techniques and practiced those in class. We did some relaxing yoga, to learn an exercising technique that could help us relax. In class the students made stress balls out of a "fake snow mixture" and the students were able to take a stress ball home with them.
