THINGS WE FEEL - Vardell, Sylvia

. .

Résumé :
Kids have been feeling a mix of complex emotions lately, which makes THINGS WE FEEL perfect for sharing. In this alphabet book, you'll find poems from A to Z along with full-color photos that will help kids talk about feeling amazed, brave, curious, determined, excited, frustrated, grateful, happy, inspired, jealous, kooky, lonely, mad, nervous, and more. The poems are ideal for children in preschool through Grade 2 (ages 3-7) and can also be used as mentor texts for older students. Share the poems to jumpstart family talks at home or in classrooms. Parents, caregivers, and educators will find useful tips and resources to help make learning even more fun, and this book will also be a favorite resource in an ELL classroom.
