My wonderful special education students have many challenges. Some of these challenges are related to their disabilities, but others just come as they grow and experience life. They come to school each day having had a variety of experiences causing them to experience different feelings and emotions. With the Little SPOT of feelings and emotions curriculum my students will more easily be able to learn about what they are feeling. The colorful visuals used by Diane Alber engage learners of any ability level and are a great way for them to learn about and identify what they are feeling. With all of these tools I would start my day by having my students check in their emotions as they enter the classroom. We would discuss what they and their friends in the classroom are feeling that day and reasons why they may be feeling those emotions. We would discuss how we can grow or shrink certain spots and help others do the same. I would use music and videos also tied to the books and plush characters to teach students in a variety of ways about the emotions. The books include descriptions of each emotion and have characters experiencing the emotions. These would be read in class weekly and then activities revolving around the focus emotion would be done during our SEL learning time. Students would have opportunities to explore their feelings and reflect on times when they may have felt each of the emotions as we focus on the many different emotion SPOTs. I love this program, and I have seen how it can help students open up about what they are feeling and learn to self-regulate their emotions in a more effective manner. I hope to receive these supplies to more fully implement the program in my classroom!
