Summary

Be uprooted and dropped into a busy and overwhelming city to learn about friendship and belonging. Take all the work out of planning a lesson so there's more time focused on comprehension and engaging hands-on follow-up activities. Do some research on the importance of crickets in the Chinese culture. Compare Chinatown with Times Square by listing three differences. Describe Chester's dream and what he did in response to it. Find the words the author used to represent sounds and explain what sounds they represent. Imagine what it would be like for Harry and Tucker to visit Chester in the country. Get into the 'skin' of Tucker to tell how he would act if he found money in Times Square. Aligned to your State Standards and written to Bloom's Taxonomy, additional crossword, word search, comprehension quiz and answer key are also included.

    ANGER MANAGEMENT FOR KIDS 5-8 -...

    We all experience intense emotions like anger at times. Not only is anger normal, but it can serve as a great motivator and a way to improve one’s emotional intelligence. It can encourage self-improvement, instill a sense of self-control, and even trigger our “fight” response which is necessary for survival. At the most basic level, anger can help children determine whether they’re being treated fairly and allows them to tell when things aren’t right. That being said, anger can become a severe problem if it grows out of control and leads to aggressive behaviors. 
An angry child isn’t a bad one, nor are their attitudes and actions necessarily a result of behavioral problems. These intense emotions are often triggered by psychological, social, or even hormonal problems, which is why parents should try to understand where their children’s anger comes from to handle the situation effectively. In most cases, the root problem is not apparent, which is why parents automatically assume that their children are misbehaving, so they take action accordingly. Grounding or yelling at a child who can’t control their anger isn’t going to fix anything and will likely make things worse.
