Procedure:

Opening: Teacher will open the lesson by gathering the children for circle time. She will

share the book they will read is In My Heart: A Book About Feelings. Before starting to read she

will ask the children to identify the book parts. After the reading the teacher will explain that the

feelings in our heart can also be shown on our faces. The children will sing a song where they

will express some emotions with their faces and bodies.

Middle: After the finger play, children will further their knowledge of emotions by

identifying what emotions the people in a magazine might be feeling based on how they look.

Teacher will encourage students to not only focus on the people’s face expressions but also on

the whole picture, such as materials or environment, to determine what could cause certain

emotions on people. After some discussion about their predictions of the people’s feelings in the

magazines, the teacher will share a Visual Emotions Chart. Using the emotions in the chart the

teacher will ask the students to share something that made them feel that emotion. For example,

the teacher will point to the picture demonstrating “Scared” and ask the class “What is something

that made you feel scared?”, children will respond with “When a bug crawled on me”, “When I

saw a scary movie”, etc.

End: The teacher will end the lesson with an art activity which will allow the students to

illustrate a moment they have had and the feelings they felt during it. Teachers should encourage

children to express any feeling they want to talk about; it does not only have to be about a happy

feeling, happy moment, or “good’ feelings. Help students recognize their own feelings and that
