Class 5 - Expressing Emotions

This week during circle time we focused on the topic "feelings and

emotions". Our class engaged in a meaningful conversation about our
feelings and emotions and when and how they are expressed. We first
began by talking about what the term "emotions" means. We then looked
at pictures of faces that had expressions which expressed particular
emotions that we feel. As we examined each emotion, we each shared an
experience that has all made us feel these emotions before. Once we
had looked at all the pictures of feelings we then read the story:
"Today was a Bad Day". The story allowed for everyone to see how
others may feel when something isn't going quite there way, and
therefore they might be more understanding towards there friends when
they are "having a bad day". We then finished our circle time about
emotions with the song "If you're Happy and you know it"! This was a
great way to end the class as we all got to act out emotions while
enjoying our selves all at the same time!
