About This Book:

An integral part of being human is to experience a wide range of emotions, some of which can be uncomfortable and unpleasant. By becoming familiar with the vocabulary, and the facial and bodily expressions of those feelings, young children can become more empathetic to others and more understanding of their own emotional lives.

Included in each chapter in Happy, Sad, Jealous, Mad the teacher will find:

- A teacher's guide page filled with suggestions, activities, and guided questions.

-A delightful story where the children learn about Clara Clapton and her adorable dog, Bumper. Each night, Clara confides in Bumper and tells him all the adventures of her day and the feelings that she has experienced. The stories are reproducible and designed in booklet form so they may be copied and sent home for the children to share and discuss with their parents.

-Reproducible emotion cards to be used as discussion starters before the story is read or as a springboard for comprehension questions.

-A fun "emotion" rhyme with an accompanying special activity.

-Each chapter concludes with several reproducible activity pages that allow the children to further explore emotions through fun and appropriate activities.

As the teacher, you may wish to work through the entire book in chronological order, although each story has been written in a way that allows you can pick and choose the stories in any sequence--the chapters do stand-alone.
