But, teaching about abstract ideas like emotions with abstract concepts like color-coding just wasn't working for the students in Erin Nusker's Lake County kindergarten class. So, she got creative and came up with a new system - and a whole research-backed book series - to turn emotional regulation into something young learners could actually understand. In this episode, the Madison Education Association member shares how she brought her lovable weather characters to life on the page and in her classroom, and how her growing collection of resources is helping educators and families support student success every day.\nTITLES IN THE 'CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF FEELINGS' BOOK SERIES:\nSometimes I Feel Like a Tornado\nTears Are Like the Rain: A Story of Overcoming Sadness and Building Confidence\nSometimes I Feel Like the Weather: A Story About Identifying & Managing Emotions\nBEYOND THE BOOKS | Educators can go to ErinNusker.net to download free printables for students, see recommendations for effective calming tools for your classroom, and find links to access digital curriculum, games and activities, and other downloadable resources through Erin's TPT site. \n \nSHARE YOUR FEEDBACK | If you'd like to share your thoughts on the Public Education Matters podcast, including your ideas for what you'd like to hear on future episodes, please email educationmatters@ohea.org.\nSUBSCRIBE | Click here to subscribe to Public Education Matters on Apple Podcasts or click here to listen on Spotify so you don't miss a thing.
