__Lesson Plan:__
Read "The Way I Feel" by Janan Cain. As you read, have the kids show each emotion. Share an experience you have had with one of the feelings listed in the book. Talk about how we all have had experiences where we have felt these feelings. Explain that today they will be writing a story about some of the emotions we feel as people. "I am going to pass out a card that will tell you the emotion that you are going to write about." Model with an emotion card of your own. Also explain that as they write you will be taking a picture of them expressing their assigned emotion. Then pass out emotion cards and pass out newsprint for a "first draft."

When book is compiled, with kids' pictures and stories take 5-10 minutes each day to read through stories and discuss the emotions and appropriate responses to them.
