First Grade Favorite

Kayla H. on Nov 7, 2022

I used this large book and unit plan with my first grade class. Students LOVE Bigfoot and recognize when they are able to reference connections with the coping with hurt feelings, big book. The language, illustrations, and mantra are something that truly impact students and their learning for application. Students often practice different breathing exercises for regulation and look at the book in our calming, comfort corner. They could relate to both receiving unkind comments like Bigfoot and accidentally "wrinkling" other people's hearts and bucket dipping by saying or agreeing with not so kind things at times. They learned how to calm themselves due to either circumstance and reflect on their feelings to make a choice to recognize how they can do better/ be better, or find someone who can help you feel your best. The focus on positive self talk is truly so helpful and impactful in the classroom for any aged learners.

All of the materials are easy to use, take for deeper understanding and application, and worth revisiting again and again.
