- ** // Bang, Molly // **** . 2004. // When Sophie Gets Angry – Really, Really Angry. //Scholastic, Inc. 40. Barnes & Noble Bookstore. ** ** // Annotation  // **** -  ** Everybody gets angry sometimes. But it’s not always easy to deal with this emotion, especially for kids. A young girl is upset and doesn’t know how to manage her anger, but takes the time to cool off and regain her composure. ** // Related Curriculum Areas // **** -  ** The related curriculum areas for this book are social studies and physical activity. It relates to social studies because it deals with emotions and how frustrating life can be at times. Communicating is important when you are frustrated and angry, because talking about something that’s bothering you can release tension and anxiety. It is also important both mentally and physically to go out and burn off some steam when you are angry and frustrated because it will reduce stress and help you feel better. Some physical activities that would help are walking, running, swimming, or biking. <span style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">- ** // <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Bridwell, Norman. // **** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">1996. // Clifford’s Sports Day. //Cartwheel. 32.

Emily Elizabeth brings her big red dog “Clifford” to sport’s day at her school and shows kids that physical activity is healthy and fun. Clifford is full of energy in each activity and makes competing with the kid’s fun by letting them win some games. ** // <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Related Curriculum Areas- // ** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The related curriculum areas for this book are physical activity and math. The reason it connects to physical activity is because all sports consist of physical movement. It is important that kids get exercise daily to build strong bones, stay healthy, gain self-confidence, etc. I thought this book also connected to math because in many sports you need to know how to add, subtract, measure, and tell time. For example, keeping score in games consists of adding. Being able to tell time is also important because you need to know how long a game should last. <span style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">- ** // <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Carle, Eric. // **** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">1989. // The Very Busy Spider. //Philomel. 24.

I felt like the story related to social studies because it focused on how people communicate with each other and how making time for yourself and others is important in your daily life. The spider was too busy making her web that she completely ignored her friends, and that can be seen as disrespectful. <span style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">- ** // <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Danneberg, Julie. // **** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">2000. // First Day Jitters. //Charlesbridge Publishing. 32.

I thought this book related to social studies because it dealt with emotions and how they can affect the way you respond to things. Whenever you try something new for the first time it can sometimes make you worried and sad, but it generally always ends up okay at the end of the day, just like Sarah Jane’s day went. <span style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">- ** // <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Dean, James. // **** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">2013. // Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses. // HarperCollins Publishers. 40.

I think this book connects to social studies because it’s based on people’s different perspectives on life. I think it is important that children are aware of other people’s feelings and that people see many things differently. One great activity you can do in the classroom that will give children a chance to express themselves are book discussions. I also thought the book connected to physical activity because it is important that you get some type of exercise daily whether you are having a good or bad day. Working out can actually boost your confidence and change your perspective on life (just like Pete’s sunglasses did). <span style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">- ** // <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Henkes, Kevin. // **** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">2010. // Wemberly Worried. //HarperCollins Publishers. 32.

I thought this story related to social studies because it deals with relationships in families and how siblings bond and disagree with some things. There is a specific role that a child takes on in a family, whether it’s being the oldest, middle, youngest, or only child. It is important that children live up to these roles because it can make a difference in your sibling’s life, or your own life. <span style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">- ** // <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Reiss, Mike. // **** <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">2008. // The Boy Who Wouldn’t Share. //HarperCollins. 32.

Math relates to this book through bucket filling. Children can count daily how many times they have shown kindness, love, and appreciation for their classmates. Physical activity can also relate by carrying something for a friend, going for a walk, or playing a game with a friend. Social studies is another good connection since the book deals with emotions and how people view themselves and others by the actions they show and the things they say.
