Un--Trois--Dix et le contrôle de soi

1... 3... 10!
This is not a whole new way to count.  But it is a good reminder.  Currently our whole school is concentrating on self-control.  (Last month's focus was on empathy.)  There was a suggestion in our teacher's package to post a 1--3--10 reminder.  So as a class we talked about this and I posted it.

Here is what you do:

1--Calm.  Think about being calm. A calm place.  What does it feel like?
