My third grade kiddos are dealing with A LOT of emotions. They started e-learning at the end of 1st grade. They are struggling with how to express their emotions and how to interact with classmates. Most of my students do not have access to books at home. This box set of books (A Little Spot of Emotion) comes with a small plush toy for each emotion (anger, confidence, happiness, peaceful, sadness, anxiety, love, scribble). These books will help us have meaningful dialogue about how we are feeling. When students feel safe emotionally, they are able to focus on learning. Each student will have a box set to take home.
