TRAITS & FEELINGS

 BIG Thanks! Thanks for you purchase! My name is Adrienne and I’m a 3rd
grade teacher. I’ve found that many teachers are passionate
about their craft and in love with their students, but are too
tied up with the unending responsibilities of the teaching
profession to create tailor-made resources for their classroom.
Through my blog posts, newsletters, and store, I provide
resources to save teachers time without forcing them to
compromise on the content of their trade.

enjoy. Every resource I create is aimed at engaging students with direct, solid instruction.
Please contact me with any thoughts, questions, or concerns you may have at

product.

 Character
Feelings
Character feelings describe a
character’s emotions in response to
actions around them. A character can
have many feelings throughout different
situations in a text.
Ex. Emilia’s feelings change
based on how her paintings
turn out. She is proud when
her paintings come out as
planned, but she is
frustrated when they don’t.
