Grab a Book and Let’s Share Our Feelings
Funded Feb 11, 2018WE have enjoyed using so many of the books and materials that you donated. The children love to use the feelings flashcards to help them identify with what they are feeling or to play a feelings charades. We also love using the Inside out box of mixed emotions books to help us to create a mood meter that we use every time we start a counseling session. All of the books have helped us understand our emotions. The book Feelings Monster has so many cool pop up pictures and it is so interactive that it is a student favorite. The children love to look at this book to help them calm down after a stressful event. They also use the My Moods My Choices flyback often, as they can flip through the pages and find fun ways to reinforce positive actions. Another school favorite is Mighty Mommies and Their Amazing Jobs. We used this book while learning about different careers before our career fair. It was so amazing to have woman represented in so many important careers. We start each small group counseling session and each classroom guidance lesson with a book. Now, we have so many books to choose from as we continue to learn social emotional skills that will help us to be the best we can be!”
