The last book that we read about Worry Wall was the Worry Warts by Pamela Duncan Edwards. Once reconnected, the friends are able to help Bear back to his cave, where he is able to use his superflexible thinking! Luckily, his friends realize he is missing and bravely head out in search of their friend. Being away from home during a storm causes him to have Worry Wall thoughts that he struggles to defeat. In this book, Bear sets out for a walk but soon realizes he is too far from home to return when a big storm approaches. The next book that we read was Bear Feels Scared by Karma Wilson. Many grown ups in her life try to help her defeat Worry Wall with encouraging thoughts, but it isn’t until she is connected with a friend who also has Worry Wall thoughts that she’s able to use her superflexible thinking!
#SUPERFLEX AND THE UNTHINKABLES CRACK#
In this book, Wemberly has frequent Worry Wall thoughts about everything from a crack in the wall, to the first day of school. To do this, we’ve been reading some great books!Īfter reading Aaaarrgghh Spider! we read Wemberly Worried by Kevin Henkes. We spent several weeks learning about this member of the Team of Unthinkables, the way this Unthinkable can prevent us from thinking flexibly, and strategies we can use to defeat this Unthinkable. Over the course of the last few weeks, we’ve wrapped up our unit on Worry Wall. Posted in Glassman, Social Thinking, Superflex, Unthinkables Leave a comment The New Unthinkable Is… The students loved reading this book and talking about times when they or a friend have had big reactions to small problems! After sharing our own Glassman moments, we had a chance to develop a list of strategies we’ve used or think we could use in the future to welcome Superflex into our brains! When cow’s friend ends up feeling sad and frustrated, cow finally realizes it’s not worth making little problems into big problems, and finally defeats Glassman! Her friend tries to help her defeat these thoughts with positive thinking, but it just doesn’t work. The cow has a Glassman reaction to the weather, her birthday, and even holidays not quite going the way she planned.
#SUPERFLEX AND THE UNTHINKABLES SERIES#
In the story, Misery Moo, by Jean Willis and Tony Ross, the cow seems to have a big reaction to a series of small problems. This past week, the students and I read another book where the main character struggles to defeat the Unthinkable Glassman. We may even have time to begin creating our own unthinkables (think The Lying Lion, an unthinkable a former student of mine created after identifying their own challenges with stretching the truth!), and begin learning about the Thinkables, the counterparts to the Unthinkable characters/challenges. While there are still several unthinkables we won’t be able to talk about this year, they will certainly come up next year as I visit the students in their next classrooms! To help students understand this unthinkable, and ways to defeat the thoughts it makes us have, the students will read: Energy Hare-y is the unthinkable that gives people too much energy for the situation. The last unthinkable the students will learn about while I’m away is Energy Hare-y. Beatrice Doesn’t Want To by Laura Numeroff.When Sophie Gets Angry, Really, Really Angry by Sophie Bang.
