The Three Bears, and Emotion Sticks - OH MY!

We have been enjoying new learning opportunities with student teacher, Miss White.  Last week the students delved deeper into The Three Bears and even learned a cool rap.  Continuing on, Miss White led the students to discuss and understand the various emotions felt by the characters in the story.


Some students volunteered to be a character from the story.  The other students were involved using their emotion sticks.  The three sticks were:  happy, sad and angry.  During the read aloud, the students paused at various parts of the story and used their emotion sticks in regards to the feelings of the characters.  Not only was this an enjoyable drama activity, but the students had a great chance to practice their oral language skills as well.  Take a look...

The students did a great job expressing different emotions...

The students were so excited to take their Emotion Sticks home with them.  The next time you read a story together, ask your child to get out their sticks.  Pause during different times of the story, and ask your child to use the sticks to help them describe what the characters are feeling!
