About this resource
The Social Emotional Learning Unit: Feelings & Emotions Activities is a 33-page resource full of ideas, lessons and printables to teach students about feelings and emotions. You will receive a handout that includes teaching points, read-alouds, videos and extra activities. There is a letter to caregivers to support feelings and emotions at home. After learning about feelings and emotions, students will get to write about what they've learned and practice their reading skills with the emergent reader. There are posters that can be printed for display within a calm down corner as well as spinners for students to choose something they can do when they are mad or frustrated.
