Why They Are On My Bookshelf: Because they are a great resource on feelings! Each book does a superb job describing what the emotion feels like through concrete examples that are easily relatable. The students also appreciate the photos of real kids experiencing the feeling. The series also doesn't give a bunch of lame (yes I used that word) ways to cope with the emotion. It leaves it open ended for the kids and I to start a new dialogue and brainstorm on how to deal and react to emotions. This series is a Winner!
These books are really great help especially to parents. These can also help us understand kids. Great job!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff! Thanks for posting these. I'm looking for some good supplemental materials for our Second Step curriculum. I look forward to reading more. Hope you're able to keep up after the birth of your new child. :-)
