Since we have been talking so much about our feelings and the many different emotions we can feel, the Pine class took some time today to represent different faces using various materials. Many of the kids referenced a board with a lot of different emotions labeled on it and try and recreate the face, while others made up their own faces.
"Look look I made it a sad face. He's feelin' sad, that's why he doesn't have a smile."
"Here's a mad face! He has a big mouth like this looking like he is mad."
"He's happy! He has eyes that look happy!"
The kids have been quite impressive by labeling how they feel and what is making them feel that way. Since the beginning of the year we have been implementing some strategies and activities guided by the Conscious Discipline curriculum. We have seen so many changes in how children are approaching their feelings and how they are dealing with problems within the classroom. Way to go!
