Hi friends!!

Today you will be hearing the last social thinking book with Evan, Ellie, Jesse, and Molly. Our last book’s title is Sharing an Imagination. This is something you do everyday! Sharing an imagination with friends is lots of fun. In school, you did this a lot during recess. Now at home, I bet you are using your imagination by yourself and with your family.

Discussion questions:

How did you know Little Llama was getting angry?  What did his face look like?  What did he do when he got angry?

What did Mama Llama do to help calm him down?

What did Little Llama do to make things better?

What can YOU do when you feel angry?



Great job boys and girls!  Have a great week :)

Love, Mrs. Pestilli
