Review :: Julia Cook Books

One of my favorite authors for social-emotional learning is Julia Cook. She has a book for almost every single type of behavior or situation I encounter as a school social worker and they’re great for on-the-go lesson planning when I’m scrambling to make time to plan. Best of all, my students love the books and actually pay attention while we’re reading and talking about them. What’s not to love? Here are a few of my favorites:

New Product :: Emotion Clip Art

Emotion Clip Art

Emotion Clip Art

I’ve recently started experimenting with making my own clipart for things. There are some social-emotional type images out there, but I felt like for emotions, they all contained happy, sad, scared, and angry and that was about it! So, I was really excited once I figured out how to make my own and now I’m sharing them 🙂 These packs include 15 different emotions + line art of 2 different ethnicities. They’re great for making your own lesson materials for sites like TeachersPayTeachers or for making activities for your own classroom! You could also just print them out and make flash cards! The emotions that are included are:

  • Angry
  • Bored
  • Content
  • Disappointed
  • Embarrassed
  • Excited
  • Happy
  • Nervous
  • Sad
  • Scared
  • Shy
  • Sick
  • Silly
  • Surprised
  • Tired

I’m hoping to make some more social skills/behavior/emotion clip art in the future. Is there anything you’d like to see?

Tips & Tricks :: 25 Best Classroom Management Tips

25 Classroom Management Tips

 

Anyone out there have a class this year that’s just one of “those classes?” You know, the ones you swear are going to force you into retirement 5, 10, or 25 years early? The ones who leave you so exhausted at the end of the day all you want to do is curl up with the germ-infested pillows in your reading area and sleep for about 60 years?

Well, a friend of mine recently shared this article with me, jokingly asking if I had written it. As much as I’d love to take credit for them, I did not write it! However, they are AMAZING classroom management tips that I think everyone who works in schools should try.

Take a look and Happy Friday!
