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

Meredith Morgan, a kindergarten teacher from Valley View Elementary in Pleasanton, California, shares how she uses Sheila Rae, the Brave by Kevin Henkes in her classroom to teach students about social-emotional learning, 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.
