Hello!
Today, we are going to use the book Grumpy Monkey by Suzanne Lang (Illustrated by Max Lang).
It is a really good book for tapping emotional intelligence among children. This is very fresh (Meaning, not yet tested). I hope this plan can work…
Word Focus: verbs(roll, stroll, lie, stomp, laugh, hug, eat, jump)
Meaning Focus: dealing with unpleasant feelings
Thinking Focus: giving advice
Purpose: For children to learn to recognize and accept unpleasant feelings such as sadness or grumpiness
Autonomy: For children to think of their own way of dealing with unpleasant emotions (such as taking long walks, listening to music, dancing, writing a journal, talking to someone, taking some time off, etc.)
Progress: For children to learn how to navigate different emotions with and without guidance
