Read the opening box together, then students fill in the feelings side before the helping side. Use it after a read-aloud or a class talk about bullying, and share helping ideas as a group.
What is the How It Feels and How to Help Organizer?
⌄
One page with a name line. A box at the top asks students to think about a child who is left out, teased or called mean names again and again. Three boxes on the left ask How might they feel? and three on the right ask What can I say or do to help? A feelings word bank lists hurt, lonely, scared, embarrassed, sad, worried, angry and upset.
Can I use the How It Feels and How to Help Organizer at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade graphic organizers, 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.
What is a graphic organizer and when should students use one?
⌄
A graphic organizer is a visual space that helps students sort and connect their ideas before they write, compare, sequence, or plan. Students use them to plan a piece of writing, compare two things, order events, brainstorm, or take notes. Making thinking visible helps students see connections and relationships they might otherwise miss.
What types of graphic organizers are included?
⌄
The set includes Venn diagrams for comparing, flow charts and storyboards for sequencing, webs for brainstorming, and tables and planning frames for gathering information. They work across reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.
How do I teach students to use a graphic organizer?
⌄
Fill one in together as a class the first time so students see how each box works, then let them complete their own for a book, topic, or writing plan. A completed organizer becomes a plan students can write from, turning scattered ideas into structured work. Match the organizer to the thinking you want: a Venn diagram to compare, a flow chart to sequence, a web to brainstorm.
Are these graphic organizers free to download?
⌄
Yes. Every organizer prints on standard 8.5x11 paper, and downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial. Parents can use a simple organizer to help a child plan a story, study for a test, or compare two options side by side.
