Use this teacher and counselor activity guide to supplement the I'm Sick, but That's Not What Hurts chapter book, an emotional and powerful story about a young boy's fears and anxieties about returning to school after an extended absence.
The guide pairs text from the story with probing questions and group activities to more deeply engage young readers with the content and facilitate thoughtful discussions about how to reconnect with friends, reestablish relationships, and regain a sense of belonging when you feel isolated or forgotten.
After reading the story and completing the activities, students of all ages are empowered with skills and strategies to help them be more understanding, more compassionate, more forgiving, and more resilient.
I'm Sick, but That's Not What Hurts Teacher and Counselor Activity Guide is the final installment in the popular and award-winning Navigating Friendships series by school counselor Jennifer Licate.
The series includes chapter books and their corresponding activity guides that give middle school students the life skills, insights, and encouragement they need to successfully advocate for themselves, navigate changing friendships, and find inner confidence. The series includes Why Is He Spreading Rumors About Me?; Why Is Drama Always Following Me?; My Anxiety Is Messing Things Up; He's Not Just Teasing!; I Lost My BFF; Am I Weird?; and Faking Happiness, Feeling Sadness.
