feeling feelings, the group plan, thinking with your eyes, body in the group, and listening with
brain and body) that establish a common social vocabulary for early learners and are fundamen-
tal to all social experiences. These practice-proven materials are designed for both neurotypically
developing children and those with social learning differences and/or challenges to strengthen
perspective taking, self-awareness, and so much more. The We Thinkers! series is loved around

We Thinkers! Think and Do: An Activity
Book to Extend the We Thinkers! Series
Nancy Tarshis, Ryan Hendrix, Kari Zweber Palmer,
Michelle Garcia Winner
This upcoming activity book builds on the ideas and images
contained in our award-winning We Thinkers! series. While it is
a perfect accompaniment to the larger two-volume curriculum,
it is also effective as a stand-alone set of activities. Designed
to be flexible, each activity sheet (what we call “thinksheet”)
can be used with students who need more time and support
for learning concepts. Each thinksheet has 3 different kinds of
activities designed to support students in reflecting on their
own experiences, thoughts, and feelings, as well as the process
of becoming better social observers and interpreters.

Thinking Thoughts and Feeling Feelings; The Group Plan; Thinking with
Your Eyes; Body in the Group; Listening with Brain and Body
Volume 2 Concepts
