Scarf – Emotions (helping others)

Today, we received a message from Sam, who was feeling a little sad and asked us for some support. We talked together about how we could help Sam feel better and acted out different scenarios to explore ways we could help. We are really excited to send our letters and share our ideas with Sam, and we hope they help to put a smile back on Sam’s face!
