Two pages after the cover. Page 1 has 6 feeling leaves (happy, calm, sad, tired, angry, scared) and a green, yellow and red border color guide. Page 2 has 6 need leaves, such as I need help., I feel sick., I need a break., I am hungry., I need the bathroom. and I am OK., and steps to laminate, punch and join all 12 with a ring.
Can I use the Feelings Communication Fan at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Preschool to 2nd Grade emotions, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Preschool to 2nd Grade feelings resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are feelings resources for?
⌄
These are written for Preschool to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 4-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these feelings resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
