Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Emotions are complicated, difficult and hard to explain and comprehend. This set of books is the perfect in explaining our emotions. The Little SPOT of Emotion Box Set teaches about different emotions such as, happiness, anger, love, confidence, and calmness. The Little SPOT of Feelings Box Set helps explain different feelings of such as empathy, frustration, and belonging. These books use simple artwork and ask questions so students get to be the feelings and emotions detective! Emotions and be hard to explain and understand for my littles. The Little SPOT of Emotion will give me a hand in explaining to my class.

With these I hope my students will develop the ability to identify and navigate their own emotions and feelings.

These box sets make teaching emotions easy for myself and learning about emotions fun for children!
