This was a ridiculously fun educator guide to work on! Kevin Hart’s middle grade book is so funny and has so much heart (pun totally, absolutely intended). It’s gut bending and warm at the same time. This educator guide celebrates creativity and allows for ample opportunity for the young people in your classroom or in your life to shine. Check out the step-by-step movie-making adventure!
It Was Supposed to Be Sunny is a gentle story that provides a wonderful opportunity to help children identify feelings, navigate unexpected changes, and learn coping strategies. While not explicitly stated, like Samantha Cotterill’s other Little Senses books, the story touches on neurodiversity and aims to develop empathy in all who read it. This educational bundle of materials is designed for all learners: kinesthetic, visual, auditory, and tactile. Use it to support children and families across a variety of settings in their quest to understand emotions and navigate change.
This educator (and parent!) guide includes a variety of hands-on, creative, and fun ways to interact with the It’s Just So… picture book series written and illustrated by Brenda Faatz and Peter Trimarco. The interdisciplinary activities in this guide welcome and encourage all styles of learners to explore the concepts in the specific titles and in the series as a whole while also offering virtual learning adaptations (Virtual Boosts) and suggestions for reaching learners of a variety of ages (Enrichment Extras). Theater, dance, art, writing, and other experiential activities abound! The protagonist of this series, Lizzy, is imaginative, expressive, relatable, and oh so lovable.
