Feelings Storytime

To help the children learn to identify feelings I read the kids a story called How Do You Feel? By Anthony Browne.  I used magnetic story props to share the story and let the kids take turns helping me pick the feeling the story talked about and then come put it up on our magnet board.

I also read Glad Monster Sad Monster, a fun story by Ed Emberley which comes with feelings Masks.  As we read it I let the kids take turns wearing the masks and then guess which feeling the monster was experiencing.

We talked about how it is o.k. to have different feelings and that they are an important part of our daily lives.  We also shared and discussed appropriate ways to express our feelings.
