About my class

I have experience with these book sets and have found them to be a great help in reaching students in their struggles with expressing their feelings. I had a student who reported to me that their younger sibling had broken their favorite toy. Rather than hitting or yelling at their sibling, they remembered what Angry Ninja had taught them to do. They said 1 word (breathe), took 3 deep belly breaths, and counted to 10 in their head before using calm words to tell their sibling that they were upset because their favorite toy had been broken. This 1-3-10 is a technique learned from Ninja Life Hacks: Angry Ninja A Children's Book About Fighting and Managing Anger that we had read about and practiced together. Building my Behavior Intervention Library with these books will help my K-3 learners process whatever they may be struggling with. Our students have more on their minds and hearts now than ever. These books will aide in them understanding their emotions so that they can build and lead fulfilling lives in school and at home!
