Class Experience

Teaching little learners about feelings can help them develop a better understanding of themselves and others, improve their social and communication skills, and allows them to create and implement positive coping strategies that can help them navigate life's ups and downs.

In this one time class, the teacher will read aloud the children's picture book they authored titled "What IS a feeling?" Little learners will explore this concept throughout the class through teacher, and learner-led discussions, worksheets and a craft.

Learner-to-learner interaction is encouraged throughout class, with opportunities to share our work with one another.  No prior experience is needed to participate in this class.

I am so excited to share my book with the little learners and work on a greater understanding of our feelings!

Learning Goals

Young learners will participate in engaging activities to support the concepts of emotion identification and calming strategies, when needed.
