Help me give my students a variety of "feelings" books to teach them how to handle their big feelings. I am excited about the "Alphabreaths: The ABCs of Mindful Breathing" book! We use daily breathing techniques!
I teach 2 half-day Pre-K classes having up to 20 children in each class. The children vary in ages from 3-5 years old. Each child qualified based on individual at-risk factors. Many of our children enter the program with big feelings which present as behaviors. I am passionate about teaching young children the social-emotional skills they need to be successful in and out of the classroom
We are a developmentally appropriate classroom teaching children social-emotional, academic, and motor skills by using hands-on activities.
These are amazing intelligent kids, and I love to see the excitement in their eyes every day!
My Project
Social-emotional learning is a huge component of early childhood education. It is important that children understand how to deal appropriately with their "big" feelings. I will use these books during our whole group reading. We will then incorporate activities based on the book. The books will also be placed in our book center.
Children can't begin to learn academics until they learn to handle the social-emotional situations that happen every day.
These books will help teach the children how to handle tough social situations and how to use appropriate coping techniques.
I have noticed over the years that children could really benefit from social-emotional training and self-regulation skills.
