"I did the 2 lessons for Week 1 last week and just taught “High Fives and Oops Moments” today. When I said, “We’re going to do another Heart to Heart talk with Ms. Ana,” they all said, “Yessssss!” The best part was hearing phrases and seeing gestures we’ve used all year (“that’s OK” and “listening with a caring heart”). When you said and did those, their eyes LIT up and they looked at me amazed!!!"
- Isabella, First Grade Teacher

Meet Ms. Ana

Your Classroom’s New Favorite Guest Teacher!

When you press play, Ms. Ana steps in to teach the lesson directly to your students. (That’s me!)

I’ll introduce the strategy, ask engaging questions, model what it looks like, and give students time to reflect and respond… all while you participate alongside your class.

You don’t have to study a curriculum, prepare a presentation, or find the perfect words. Just press play to give students strategies they can use before their feelings become disruptive behaviors.

Why is having Ms. Ana teach the lesson so effective?

Sometimes students hear a message differently when it comes from someone new.

“Ms. Ana” becomes a trusted third voice in the classroom, reinforcing the expectations and language you’re already working to establish without making students feel like they’re being corrected again.

Then, after the video, you can refer back to the shared lesson: “Remember what Ms. Ana taught us about taking a peaceful pause?”

Now it isn’t another teacher reminder. It’s a strategy your class learned together.
We are LOVING Heart to Heart talks! We’ve done two lessons this week and have referenced the stop light from the Self-Control lesson a few times, it even applied to one of our curricular texts and I was so impressed with how the kids were able to apply what they learned to change the situation for the character using the stop light.


I have to say, my favorite thing has been when you’ve used the “that’s ok” gesture or the language “shakey quakey” moment and the kids were like “you sound just like Miss Ana!
-Jen, First Grade Teacher

FAQs

Nope! That’s the magic.

Ms. Ana teaches directly to your students through short, engaging videos. You simply press play, pause for discussion when prompted, and use the included follow-up activity or printable.

You get to step out of “behavior-corrector mode” and learn alongside your students.

You can observe their responses, participate in the discussion, and notice which students may need additional support. Because Ms. Ana leads the teaching, you have space to watch your class and reinforce the strategy afterward.

Ms. Ana uses stories, relatable examples, expressions, questions, and student-friendly language to hold their attention and make abstract skills like self-control, regulation, and accountability feel concrete.
