Can you guess what we have been working on at home? Feelings, of course. Why we feel angry or jealous or happy, etc. and how we should behave when our feelings are not positive. One of the books we read is The Way I Feel by Janan Cain. I like that this book addresses feelings that are not typically in books for young children. For example, there are pages devoted to disappointment and frustration. Both of these feelings are common for young children, yet they are often left out of books for this age group.
While reading the book, C and R used their teddy bear emotions puzzles to create a teddy bear with the expression that matched the feeling on the page we were discussing. This was a great way to explore the different emotions. Stay tuned for more posts on this subject.
