I direct an early learning center and purchased these along with the little spot plushies and books for my preschool teachers. The kids absolutely love it. This guide gives educators additional ideas for incorporation and really deep dives into the learning opportunities with the spots. After a few days of incorporating into the classroom the kids were excited to tell me different things they did with their spots and activities and even requested some of the pages out of the guide to use during times they needed regulation!!

The work book is a good resource to work with kids on emotional regulation

I know the book stated it was for up to 2nd grade; however, often material can be adjusted for older groups. This book is difficult to adjust some of the material, but there were still some that worked.

I am even able to adapt some of the activities and curriculum for my class of 2 and 3 year olds!

great

This is a must have for including SEL in your classroom! So many great ideas and resources in this book.

I acquired this set through DonorsChoose along with others, including the little plushies. I use this for SEL in Kindergarten & so far, so good.

I purchased this book because I love Diane Alber and own all of her books, but both copies I ordered looked like someone had kicked them across the room first before shipping them to me. Disappointing
