I made a new page in the coloring club for you today. Your students can talk about a happy heart and write about their feelings before coloring or painting it.
It came about from a sketch I did while eating my lunch and looking at the birds in a tree in my backyard.
It reminded me of the book In My Heart By Jo Witek. Have you read it? It talk s about the heart being like a house, full of different feelings - each explored on a new page. Children love the little shape window cut outs too!
Even if you do not have this book you can talk about feelings with your students and different ways they feel through the day. Let them contribute to a class discussion if they choose to and accept the contributions they make.
The coloring page can provide a space for them to write or draw about their feelings or project it onto the electronic board as a scaffold to guide a discussion - focusing mostly on oral language.
