Here is what we’ve been doing this week. Let us know what you think.  We hope by providing these materials to you free of charge, it will make your life easier! 
Feelings Mini Unit

Below is a list with our full lesson plans.



Lesson Plan: The lesson plan includes all the lessons for the week, as well as optional ideas. Items following the lesson plan are just the printables or links to websites we used to teach these plans.  (Please note: On top of our lesson plan we are reading books daily that relate to our theme.)
Memory Verse: This memory card is for daily use during our calendar time.  You can learn more about calendar time at 1+1+1=1 or Homeschool Creations.  Our weekly devotional is an object lesson that will help your child apply the meaning of the verse to them.
Special Note: We are so excited to introduce some new activities this week, as well as some twists to a few old ones.  Let us know what you think. 

Day 1:  
Beginning Sound Puzzles- A New Activity! Helps your child to focus in on the beginning letter sounds he/she hears.

Count & Color: Feelings- Here’s a twist to our Roll & Color/Color by Number. This activity will help your child count whole numbers up to 6 and reinforce colors.

 
Feelings Sort- Label the top of a piece of construction paper with a feeling word– afraid, happy, mad & sad. You’ll need 4 pages. (Ex: orange for afraid, yellow for happy, red for mad and blue for sad) Cut out as many images from this packet as you choose. Have your child sort the pictures onto the right sheet of paper and then glue it on.  You can also find pictures in old magazines or newspapers too.
 

Day 2:  
Beginning Writing: Feelings- This activity will help build fine motor skills as your child practices tracing.


Spin & Graph: Feelings- Here’s a twist to our roll and graph. We used spinners a lot in the 3rd grade classroom and since we weren’t working on 6 feelings, I figured it was time to bring in the old reliable spinner. 

This activity will introduce your child to data collection and interpretation. Once you’ve completed the graph (first item to # of choice), make sure to ask simple questions.  Such as, “Which color is taller? What item is that?  Which color is shorter? Which item is that? How many times did we give the (item) a sticker?”  Make sure to show them how to use the graph, instead of just counting the stickers.

 
Feelings Paper Plate Craft- Help your child decorate paper plates
and use them as feeling masks.  Then use them as props as you sing silly songs about feelings. 
 
 
Day 3:  
Look, See, Spell: Feeling Words- Another new activity.  This activity was adapted from Fountas and Pinnell, a phonics program that I used in the classroom.  The original activity designed for Ks was to build(spell) the word and then write it.  Our kiddos weren’t ready for writing, so we decided to set it up as you see below.
Shape Faces- This activity will reinforce shape recognition.
 
 
Sesame Street Feelings Playlist- The following playlists will be a fun way to reinforce all the feeling words that have been discussed this week.
mad.  sad.  scared.
