How Do You Feel?

The last two weeks the Pine kids have been working on identifying their feelings and then describing why they are feeling that way. 

It's been pretty amazing to see a shift in how the kids interact with our feelings chart over the last two weeks. Last Monday, many of the kids waited until an adult asked how they were feeling and then waited to describe why they were feeling that way. 

This week, however, the kids began approaching the feelings chart unprompted and moving their names around throughout the day to indicate their change in moods and emotions. 

Beginning of the Day

End of the Day

The kids have also started creating a dialogue about how our emotions change and that it's okay when they do. We chat about how we can handle different big emotions like angry, frustrated, and sad as well as celebrating the times we are happy and feeling excited. 

SO proud of the Pine kids and being able to identify how they feel. There isn't any emotion we can't handle!
