Another Trick
Lawrence
Shapiro is an awesome author! I love the idea of keeping a feelings diary!
Students use the feelings sheet below and a blank journal to draw and write
about their feelings. The feelings sheet will show the students the feeling
face to draw at the top of their journal. The feeling word gives students its
name. The purpose of the diary is to
help students develop coping skills. It will also help give them the vocabulary
to effectively discuss and reflect on their feelings.
Enjoy!
Tricks of the Trade
Tricks of the Trade by
Lawrence Shapiro
I love the book Tricks of the Trade
by Lawrence Shapiro! The book is filled with short and practical strategies to help counselors work with children. The techniques are from cognitive/behavioral therapy, family therapy, and psychodynamic theory. I have enjoyed the book as a part of my library for over 15 years! The activity below is one of my favorites!
Shapiro’s Family Museum activity is a wonderful way to
learn about student’s perception of their family. The students have to pretend that their family
is famous and thus an entire museum has been dedicated to them.
This is what the blank museum looks like.
This is what the museum looks like filled in.
After the activity, students
can share their museum with the group.
Enjoy!

The Kissing Hand
The Kissing Hand by
Audrey Penn
Summary
This warm and loving story is about a raccoon that
does not want to go to school. The mother raccoon helps him to understand that
sometimes we have to do things that we do not want to do. The mother teaches
her son that the kissing hand is a way to carry her love with him always.
Discussion

How do you feel about school?
·
What would you do if you had a friend
who did not want to come to school?
Activity
1. Have
the students discuss feelings associated with the first days of school
(consider using a diagram like the one below)
Thank
you for the diagram idea! From Mrs. H
(Onceuponafirstgradeadventure.blogspot.com)
2. Have
students create a kissing hand out of construction paper.
First Day Jitters
Summary
First Day Jitters is an excellent story for students
in kindergarten, first, and second grade. Sarah Hartwell worries about
everything that could go wrong in school. Her concerns are relevant and
familiar to anyone starting school. The
best thing about the story is the end when readers find out that Sarah Hartwell
is a new teacher and not a new student!
Discussion
·
What happened in the story?
·
What was Sarah nervous about?
·
What are we to learn from the story?
·
Have you ever been nervous?
·
What did you do to help yourself when you were
nervous?
Activity
·
Give students a
copy of a body outline, similar to the one above.
·
Have the students
color the outline to resemble themselves.
·
Give the students
star stickers to place where they feel worry (head, heart, stomach).
·
Have the students
cut the body outline out and place on construction paper.
·
Have the students
write a positive message to themselves in a message bubble.
