Discussion: This book discusses many emotions that Baby Mouse experiences. Emotions are important for children to understand and how to label and recognize changes in emotion is even more important.
How I Would Teach It: Cheryl Cox has a collection of activities for the elementary school classroom and a lesson that I am familiar with is about emotions using flash cards. I would use the flash cards that have different faces and emotional phrases on them. This lesson not only teaches emotions but also facial expressions that go along with the different emotions and synonyms of each of the emotion words. The words that are synonyms all share the same facial expression so this activity is self check. The words used in this particular activity are a little difficult so it is good that it is self-check. This would be a group work activity divided among the different tables. I would implement this into my classroom because it is an interactive lesson for the students; they are active in the learning process not just passively receiving information.
