This week Fin brought in different books that helped us talk about being a good team player, talking to a new friend and understanding how other people feel.
Today we read "Hey Little Ant" by Phillip Hoose. This book is a conversation between two creatures a boy and an ant. One large and one small. The story asks us to look at the life from the insect's point of view. A boy converses with a tiny ant he wants to squish. Pleading, "You are very much like me," the ant explains he has a family and community too.
After reading the story we talked about different emotions we feel. We discussed how everyone has emotions. Giving children the vocabulary to express the emotions they are feeling is an important life skill. We shared different things that make us feel these emotions.
After the students choose what emotion they wanted to write about and they wrote about them on these cute robots.
