THE WAY WE FEEL!!

4/20/2020

Hi Friends!

This week... let's talk about OUR FEELINGS!

With so much change and uncertainty surrounding all of us right now,
it is SO important to talk about how WE FEEL!

Emotions describe how we are feeling throughout our day.
Emotions are a GOOD thing!
Sometimes emotions can be HARD. That's OKAY!
When we TALK about how we are feeling and use helpful strategies,
we can FEEL OUR BEST!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's read a book called "THE WAY I FEEL"

This story is about the EMOTIONS we feel throughout our day.
EVERYONE has emotions!
Sometimes, we feel LOTS of emotions in the same day!
