Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The Mood Meter is a tool used to recognize and understand emotions.  The Mood Meter helps us to understand that all emotions are ok.  We all experience a wide variety of emotions throughout our lives daily.  We also begin to learn about appropriate strategies for self-regulation of our emotions. The Mood Meter is divided into four color quadrants – red, blue, green, and yellow – each representing a different set of feelings. Feelings are grouped together on the mood meter based on their pleasantness and energy level.
