Pumpkin Feelings

This past week my Kindergarten student's talked about feelings.

I read the book

By Janan Cain {Amazon Link}

We discussed feelings we have when we are Bucket Fillers and Bucket Dippers.

Students then created a Pumpkin Feeling Book.

Here is the link I found from jmeacham.com

of a cute

Pumpkin Book perfect for Kindergarteners!

Ping Pong Emotions

How easy is this????

You take Ping Pong Balls, draw different emotions on them.

Put them in a small bucket of water, so they float face down.

A child pulls one out, and describes a time they felt that emotion.

Anger Experiment

Linking you up to Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas, again.


I can't resist!  This is a SUPER-mom.  She really has amazing ideas!

Fizz Bubble Pop Experiment

This would be a FUN, and I mean FUN experiment

to show anger also.

When we get angry, what happens?

When start to Fiz, then Bubble, and POP!!!

If we don't control our anger we explode and boil over.

I would do this experiment in groups, so each table could have their 

tray and every child could have their own cup.

Thanks Mom 2 Posh Lil Divas!

Pinning

Are you addicted to Pinterest???


Well, I am.  There are so many great counseling ideas available at your fingertips.

This is a simple science experiment, that most of us have seen.

&&& they used it to illustrate anger.

Here is the direct link from Mom 2 Posh Lil Divas:

Anger Illustration

{&&& check out all her fun science experiments}

You could tie in lots of children's literature to this lesson.

When Sophie Gets Angry--really, really angry!

I would end the lesson with an interactive writing review.

What can we do to control our anger???

{take a deep breath, close our eyes, count to ten, walk away, ignore, think happy thoughts, etc}
