Counseling with Penguins

I am planning next weeks lessons and decided that it would be a good week to incorporate penguins in our lessons (it is freezing here in Illinois). I've planned lessons covering the topics of self-esteem, empathy, problem solving, diversity and anger management. These are three books that I will be using:

Pouting

The Pout-Pout Fish

I have some k-1st grade students who are getting very good at pouting! We have been using The Pout-Pout Fish as a way of discouraging this behavior. Pout-Pout fish swims around the ocean with a permanent pout stuck on his face. As he swims around the ocean he spreads the "dreary wearies". I love that this book leads to a discussion about our own behaviors having an impact on those around us. I'm sure you can find this book somewhere in your school district as it is a very popular story. If not, you can purchase it HERE.

I have used many different FREE items that I have found on TPT with this book. My favorite is this one: The Pout-Pout Fish. {making bad moods better} by Kristin-Young. It gets students thinking about their own actions.

Whitney Palyu Bright Ideas came up with some great discussion questions: The Pout-Pout Fish - Language Extension Activities.

The Pout-Pout Fish Reading Comprehension Activities by The Lesson Plan Diva (I used the final writing piece in this lesson: Write and draw about a time that you felt sad)

Second Step Connections

I use the Second Step Curriculum in all of my k-2 classroom lessons. I really love Second Step and it requires little planning. I do like to use other resources to supplement my second step lesson though and today I am going to connect you to some of my favorite resources. I found some really great worksheets on the TPT store Behavior Savers.

I love this Freebie from the Kindergarten pack:

Freebie...Second Step Kindergarten Belly Breath Worksheet

Here is a freebie from the 2nd grade pack:

Problem Solving-Making Responsible Choices-2nd Grade Second Step Lesson

The other worksheets must be purchased but at $5.00 a packet they are very reasonably priced and include some great material!

SECOND STEP KINDERGARTEN-24 Lesson Worksheets

SECOND STEP 1st Grade-21 Lesson Worksheets

SECOND STEP 2nd GRADE-21 Lesson Worksheets

Paiges of Learning is another TPT store that sells supplemental Second Step Materials. These packets are $3.00 each and she has a packet for 1st grade as well as one for 3rd grade.
