Social Stories

Dear John,

I wrote a social story today.  A social story is a first person story written to help a child process something... emotions, routines, change... whatever.

I have written many different social stories during my time as a Kindergarten teacher.  I thought this year, teaching 3rd grade, I wouldn't be writing any new social stories.

And then, for the third time in two weeks, you came home having thrown a temper tantrum in class.

So I wrote you a social story... a "When I am Angry" book for John.

 Let's hope it helps.

Love,

Mom
