Week #3 Lessons

Hi Everyone,

Week #3

Our third week of school is here! Hopefully everyone is getting used to the routine and is loving getting back to learning new things and meeting new people!  

This week we will talk about all differents types of feelings and emotions that we might feel.  We will learn about new ones and revisit familiar ones.  Most importantly we will talk about the fact that we all feel different emotions everyday!  Remember, some classes may not have a chance to get through all of the activities that I have planned for that week.  But, that is okay!  They are always on our Google Classroom page for next time if we have the chance to go back.  I started  having grades 4 and 3 log on to our Google Classroom page so parents and teachers can be on the look-out for some great responses from their children!  I’m hoping to bring in the second graders in a few weeks!

So, what are we going to work on this week?

Let’s see!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In first grade we will begin by reading Today I Feel Silly.

This is a very funny book that talks about all of the different moods we could feel everyday.  

Then we will play feelings memory,

Which I know they will love!  

Next we will play a matching game with some colorful bags labeled with 8 feelings on them.  The students will hear a situation (for example Bryan is having a birthday party tomorrow).  Then, they will have to figure out which “feeling bag” that situation card belongs in.  I can’t wait to see how they do with this!  

We will watch a cute Video about my favorite emotion - Happiness!  And will end with some Belly Breathing time :-)

In Second grade we will begin by reading a great book called My Many Colored Days.

This book will show us that certain colors can remind us of the feelings we are feeling.  Then we will get the chance to look at a bag of skittles and see the many colors in the bag and relate it to the many “colors” of our emotions.

Next, the groups will be playing emotion charades!  I can’t wait to see what great actors/actresses we have!

We will watch a cute Video about my favorite emotion - Happiness!  And will end with some calming Rainbow Breathing time :-)

In Third grade we will begin by playing a game called “Uncover” it.  The students will get the chance to guess letters in order to uncover the feeling word that was chosen.  Extra points will be given to the teams who can use the word in a sentence or share about a time when they experienced that feeling in their own lives.

In Fourth grade we will begin by playing a game called “Uncover” it.  The students will get the chance to guess letters in order to uncover the feeling word that was chosen.  Extra points will be given to the teams who can use the word in a sentence or share about a time when they experienced that feeling in their own lives.

The next activity, if we have time, is called Emotion Bench.  Two students will be selected to sit on a “bench” in the front of the room and will be given a different emotion to act out.  The actors will then proceed with a conversation (being sure to portray what their emotion is the whole time).  Then the audience will try to guess what emotion they were given!  

We will watch a cute Video about my favorite emotion - Happiness!  And will end with some calming Chin Up relaxation time :-)

At the end of each blog post will be a “Would you rather” type question.  

Think about your answer and find out what your child’s answer is.  

You might be surprised by what they say!!

Would you rather change the past or be able to see into the future?

Take care and see you next week!
