Emotions/Feelings Signature Assignment Bibliography Mallory Padilla Arizona State University ECD 418: Instruction Methods for Young Children Integrating Digital Media in Social Studies, Arts and Children’s Literature October 14, 2014 Margo Dahlstrom [|Cain, Janan.] (2000). **The Way I feel**. Parenting Press. 32 pages. Cesar Chavez Public Library.  As the title states this book is about feelings. On each page there is a different emotion that is bold and the pictures on each page capture the “emotion.” The illustrations on the book are pastel drawings and the pages rhyme and have really fun handwriting or font. Some of the emotions that are used in this book are silly, scared, shy, bored and jealous etc. The emotions in the book match with the different colors on the page. For an example “angry” has red and purple coloring to show that the child is feeling angry. In most cases, red symbolizes fierce because it is a bright color that pops out.  This book can be applied to classroom subjects such as using it for social issues. It will be possible to ask the children, “How do you feel today?” And the teachers can show the children each picture to see how they feel for the day. It can also be used for a read aloud and then can be used to ask the children to draw a picture on how they are feeling. Or they can be told, what color are you feeling today? And students can pick a color and describe why they are feeling that color. Parr, Todd. (2007.) **The Feelings Book**. Little Brown & Co. 24 pages. Cesar Chavez Public Library.  This book is very similar to the other non-fiction book. This book has different emotions and shows the children as they are expressing the emotion. There is an emotion that is shows which is “silly” and the character is sticking out his tongue being “silly.” It shows the emotion “scared” and has a scared little mouse running away from a cat. Although it has emotions it also has different feelings such as what someone feels like doing; such as a child “feels like standing on his head,” and it has a picture of a child standing on their head. The rest of the book just continues to say what they feel like doing. At the end of the book it says “Always share your feelings.”  This book can be used to show emotions and feelings for social skills. You can ask the children to point to the picture that they feel or you can ask them to come up with their own feeling. Another social issue that can be used for this book would be friendship and self-esteem. The children can use pictures to express how they feel. This would be very important to discuss with a child because you can tell them it is okay to have a feeling and to always tell someone how you are feeling. Canizares, Susan. (1999.) **Feelings.** Scholastic Inc. 12 pages. Cesar Chavez Public Library.  This book has different feelings that children are feeling. It starts off with a young boy who I pouting while his family is in the background holding his little sibling and the bottom of the page says “feelings.” And then it begins with another child being happy to a child being sad. The pictures are real life photos of children and each page shows their emotion that they are feeling. I really like that this book has real life photos of other children rather than drawn pictures because the students reading it can relate to the feelings the children on the book. At the end of the book it has a child who is playing with her puppy and it has the words “feelings.”  This book can be used to talk about feelings with younger children. The teachers can tell the students “We all have feelings, but we may feel different things at different times.” It can be used for social skills and can help a child understand it is normal to feel a certain way. The children can tell their teacher a feeling that they feel. Or can point to a doll that has different emotions.

Her mother tries to change her name and tells her it is perfect just like her. <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> This book can be incorporated in the classroom because children can feel different at one point at a time. The children can go through their names and count the letters within them and then write them on cards and decorate their own names. They can make their own creations and tell them something about their own name. I chose this book because I really liked this book and growing up a lot of people had unique names and people would make fun of them. Doing an activity like this would help the children.
