View Lesson

The lesson focuses on enhancing preschool students’ emotional awareness by exploring their feelings and the connections they share with their families. It begins with an introduction that encourages students to identify and discuss their family members, emphasizing the diversity of family structures. Through emotion cards, children share personal experiences related to various feelings, fostering open communication about their emotions. They then engage in a drawing activity, creating artwork that represents their family and the emotions they feel when together. After sharing their drawings, students participate in a calming circle activity, reinforcing the importance of expressing feelings. The session concludes with a recap of the lessons learned and the significance of discussing emotions with family, coupled with plans for follow-up activities, including a feelings chart and a family engagement event. Assessment is based on participation, expression of emotions, and peer interactions, providing insight into their social and emotional development.
