Book of Emotions

The Pine kids were so excited today in small groups today to start working on books! Since we have been reading "I Was So Mad" by Mercer Mayer, the kids have been interested in making their own books. Because the book talks a lot about how Critter is feeling, the kids wanted to make books that represented all different kinds of emotions. 

"We can take these home and make them!"
"I am going to make all of the feelings like frustrated, disappointed, happy, and anxious!"



"I am going to add the sad face to my book because sometimes I feel sad."


"I am making the calm face. I feel calm and happy."



The kids worked side by side discussing the different kinds of faces they wanted to make for their books. Although some of the kids made books featuring a lot of big emotions, they mostly enjoyed just making the different shaped mouths and eyebrows. They giggled at the mouths that featured squiggly lines and imitated the looks on their own faces. 

It's been so interesting to watch the kids respond to their own feelings as well as their peers. Their conversations continue to grow deeper into how and why they may be feeling a certain way.

They worked purposefully and explained the different parts as they worked.  "We need to cut out a circle for it to be the telescope." B, V, & E continued to work with one another and make compromises throughout their building in order to make the best version of a submarine as they could.  The three finished building their submarine, but noticed something was missing.  "It needs a propeller so it can move!" How could they make a propeller? What does a propeller look like? The kids got to work on some research about wh...
