The Feels Unit Plan

My students actually look forward to our morning check-ins now, and I love how the plan breaks down each emotion with simple, concrete strategies they can use on their own. The Educators' Edition makes it so easy to weave into our existing routine without any extra prep work.

My third graders finally stopped shouting "I'm fine!" when they're clearly upset after we started using the strategy cards for managing big feelings. The way the activities break down each emotion into tangible steps has made our morning check-ins actually meaningful.

The lesson on identifying each of the five emotions comes with clear, kid-friendly language that my class immediately understood. It's been a huge time-saver for me—everything is laid out and ready to use.

My students were really struggling to name their feelings, but the lesson plans here gave me clear activities to use right away. I love how it covers five core emotions and actually gives kids simple strategies to self-regulate. Seeing them point to the "frustrated" card instead of melting down has been a game-changer.

The lesson plans on identifying five core emotions gave my kindergarteners a shared vocabulary they actually use during conflicts. I especially appreciated the practical self-care strategies included for each feeling.

My third graders were struggling to name what they were feeling until we started using the five emotional states breakdown—the concrete strategies for each one finally gave them a way to talk about their big emotions.

My students finally get the difference between frustrated and disappointed thanks to the emotion sorting cards in the guide. The daily check-in prompts have become our favorite morning routine.

The emotion cards are sturdy and the guided prompts make it easy to start conversations even with my shyest kids. My class picked up the "take care of yourself" strategies faster than I thought they would.

My students actually look forward to the "emotional check-in" now—the visual cues for each feeling make it so much easier for them to express themselves. The strategies for managing big emotions are practical enough to use right away.

After weeks of using the check-in cards with my second graders, I'm amazed at how quickly they're naming their own feelings. The lesson plans are clearly laid out and saved me hours of prep time.
