Teacher Share: Sheila Rae, the Brave

2:30-Min. Video on Teaching Social-Emotional Learning and Character Development

Teacher’s Takeaway

“I love how my students really can see themselves in characters like Sheila Rae and her sister, Louise. I think every kindergartner and student can [relate] to both those characters!” —Meredith Morgan

Kindergarten teacher Meredith Morgan shares how she uses Sheila Rae, the Brave by Kevin Henkes in her classroom to teach students about character development, using text-based evidence, and more.

• Social-Emotional Learning: Students can practice being aware of their surroundings and discuss what they should do if they ever get lost.

• Character Study: Encourage students to identify Sheila Rae’s character traits in the beginning (such as her thoughts about her sister and her bravery) and how they change (or don’t) throughout the story.

You can download a free printable worksheet inspired by Sheila Rae, the Brave in Cooked Up from a Book!

A Note from Judy

Dragons are huge fans of tacos—as long as they don’t have one secret, spicy ingredient! The Book of the Week is the laugh-out-loud, fun-to-read-together picture book Dragons Love Tacos, written by Adam Rubin and illustrated by Daniel Salmieri!

Dance to an original song with the Book Boys; discover the many ways that one first grade teacher uses Dragons Love Tacos with her students in Book Talks; read an exclusive interview with Adam Rubin in Behind the Scenes; and download a free printable “Dragons Love My Tacos!” recipe activity in Cooked Up from a Book that also helps students practice sequencing.

We hope that your younger readers have a blast with Dragons Love Tacos—and remember: no salsa!
