Unit 1: I Know My Feelings!
Our youngest learners deserve stories that help them grow big hearts and curious minds. This early learning program uses joyful, reflective read-alouds to build emotional vocabulary, empathy, and classroom connection.
Grounded in the CASEL framework and developed by educators, each unit introduces children to anchor concepts like naming emotions, making kind choices, and understanding others. Lessons are structured, engaging, and developmentally appropriate—designed for whole-class teaching, small-group work, or counseling settings.
Whether you’re just beginning your SEL journey or looking to deepen classroom culture, this curriculum brings social-emotional learning to life through stories children love.
These five books guide students through an SEL journey around self-awareness. Each story introduces an anchor concept and learning goal that helps students notice, name, and explore their emotions through shared reading, discussion, and creative expression.
