One of the ways I will be teaching emotional intelligence is through the use of picture books. Books expose children to a variety of scenarios and characters and give children the vocabulary they need to express themselves. I will aid students in learning the appropriate words to use to describe how they are feeling, and an emotions anchor chart will also be posted in the classroom. Books illustrate the positive and negative aspects of behaviour and provide students with a safe way to talk about conflict and emotions. Books often depict suitable resolutions to conflict and are teaching children these tools by example.
Tumbler books – the link below takes you to a great online resource that holds a digital library of interactive books for children. These talking picture books are created by adding animation, sound, music and narration to existing picture books that can be read aloud. This a great resource to teach emotional intelligence at home and to help your child read.

Literature is another way I will be teaching moral development. Moral development requires that we understand that other people are people too, with their own thoughts and feelings. We must understand that other people have different experiences and beliefs than you.
The presentation below is about a book called “Something Beautiful” by Sharon Wyeth and illustrates how this book teaches inclusion and moral development.
In the classroom, I will establish community and respect and will encourage perspective-taking among students.
