Introduction:
during circle time I would explain to the children that this week we have a new lesson plan call feelings. I will ask the older children what are feelings, and can you name some of them. I would point out to the children that books were added around the room about different types of feelings. To the younger ones I will read them the books and express the meaning by making faces and eye contact. Introduce When I Feel sad, and When I Feel Angry by: Cornelia
