Lesson Plan

How Do I Feel? Plan

Students will identify and articulate their current emotions using visual cues and interactive play, and will compose a simple sentence to express how they feel by lesson’s end.

Building emotional literacy helps 2nd graders recognize and label feelings, improving self-awareness and social–emotional learning per CASEL Tier 1 standards.
