BIG feelings and emotions occur daily in our preschool classroom, especially at the beginning of the year. Many of my students have never been away from home in their short little lives, and the adjustment can be overwhelming. The adults in the classroom have to be ready to “join their calm, not their chaos”. I would go a step further and say “teach the calm” to help these little learners navigate their school experience. This group of resources can help you explore feelings in a fun and interactive way. It can help students learn about feelings and realize that all of them are ok to have. You just need to control them a little bit in the classroom setting- well, maybe control them a lot throughout the school day!!
I utilize different feelings and emotional products to help keep my young learners involved and entertained. Check them out below! Grab them all in the BUNDLE and get 20% off!!!
