 Healthy Bodies last week and now...Healthy Wellness!! 

Last week we learned about Healthy Bodies and this week we explored Healthy Wellness. Our focus was on understanding and expressing our emotions—an important part of our social wellness journey. We learned that sometimes we can feel happy, sad, angry, scared, and calm. We read books that showed us it's OK to have different emotions. We were artists and expressed our emotions through painting using marbles, straws, pastels, and paint blotters.  Ask your child "How are you feeling today?" And let them put into words what is in their heart. Sharing feelings is an important part of building emotional awareness and social connections.

Bubbles for happiness, Tears that run in sadness,  Blue-green swirls for calmness

Angry Red-Orange pastels, and Marble painting to show feeling scared or nervous.

One day, Colour Monster wakes up feeling very confused. His emotions are all over the place. He feels angry, happy, calm, sad, and scared all at once. Colours are one way we can help young children to unpack their feelings and identify their emotions to feel more in control. Ask your child what colour monster they feel like today?

We read the story, "In My Heart" by Jo Witek about the many feelings we have inside our hearts. Each feeling was captured with words, colours, and pictures, like "happy, calm, sad, afraid, mad, silly, and more."  Here are some of our drawings showing what is in our hearts.
