Guiding Inquiry Questions:
1. How are you feeling right now?
2. What is your favorite type of feeling? What is your least favorite type?
Prior knowledge:
Students must be able to recognize and identify what the feelings mad, sad, happy, silly, scared, and excited are.
Introduction: To introduce our lesson I will call all of the students to the rug and I will ask everyone how they are feeling today. I will then proceed to tell them that today I feel sad. I will then ask the students if they have ever felt sad and what they did or what someone else did to make them feel better.
Instructions:
1. While the students are sitting quietly on the rug go around the rug and ask students to talk about the different feelings they are feeling today. I will then ask them if it is normal to have more than one feeling in a day.
2. I will introduce our book by going over the title, author’s name, and illustrator’s name. I will ask them what they suspect will happen throughout the book. Before beginning the book we will go over circle time rules and have students sit with their lips zipped, legs crossed, and hands in their laps.
3. Read aloud Today I Feel Silly and pause at each illustration to ask the students what they think the feeling is before reading the passage.
4. After reading each passage, pause to ask students when they have felt this way and ask three (3) students using Popsicle sticks to share when they have felt this way.
5. At the end of the book, ask the students to take turns practicing what they currently feel on the emotions wheel on the back cover.
*** While reading ask the students about the body language and surroundings of the little girl and why they think she looks that way. (Ex: If she is draped over her bed upside down with a frown on her face, I don’t think she’s too happy!)
**** After some passages, ask students to show me what the feeling face looks like on their own face
6. Once each student has had a turn spinning the practice wheel dismiss students who are sitting quietly on the rug back to their seat.
7. Once students are in their seats pass out 15 copies the emotions sheet.
8. Tell the students that they are going to practice drawing a mad, sad, happy, silly, scared, and excited face in their paper. Give students ten (10) minutes to complete this task.
9. Once they are done drawing the pictures of the various faces. Pick five (5) students to come to the smart board and recreate the picture that they have drawn to show to the class.
10. Once the five students have drawn their picture on the board have those students sit back in their desk.
11. Dismiss students from their desks using Popsicle sticks and have the students put their worksheet in their cubbies.

Assessment(s):
Informal:
1. Ask students to list new feeling words they learned today.
2. Ask students if it is normal to have lots of feelings in one day and remind them that if they have a bad feeling (mad or sad) that they will probably be happy again soon and can use a coping skill to get there quicker.
Formal: Have students draw the faces of the emotions of mad, sad, happy, silly, scared, and excited.
