My Project

Managing emotions is a life skill, am I right? Learning how to do that is a life-long journey. Teaching 2nd graders about their emotions, social skills, and relationships is complicated, but it doesn't have to be. I am asking for the set of A Little Spot of Feelings books to help me create an environment where sharing emotions is not only ok, but encouraged.

A Little Spot of Feelings by Diane Alber is an engaging way for me to reach my 2nd graders at their emotional level.

In a world where social media dominates their world, I want to be able to give my students the ability to name their feelings, as well as make choices about them, and see how these feelings interact with each other. My students come from many different backgrounds. Some come from high poverty, some come from privilege, and many come from countries around the world. Emotions are our common denominator. Please help me create an environment that not only helps students manage their emotions, but also celebrates them!
