 * Notes**:

This lesson should be shared at the beginning of the school year, as the outcome can serve as an excellent reference for students throughout the year.
 * Assessments/Activities:**

__Gathering__: Bring students together at the carpet and ask them to come up with a list of feelings. Write several feelings down on the paper or whiteboard, ensuring a variety of feelings across the spectrum. __Activity__: Ask students to generate ideas for what they do when they’re feeling a certain way. For example, if the emotion is “happy”, then students might share that they sing, dance, draw, and play when they’re happy. Repeat this for each of the emotions up there. __Activity__: Pass out the attached feeling chart, and have students repeat the exercise on their own charts. In the top section, students write a feeling they have. Underneath it, students write what they choose to do when they have that particular feeling. Students are also asked to include a color that is associated with each feeling. __Debrief__: Students who feel like sharing some of their responses are invited to do so. __Closing__: Students submit papers for assessment. When returned, students add their “Feeling Chart” sheet to their SEL journals for reference as needed. Level 3.0 – Student is able to list at least four feelings and unique actions that are associated with those feelings. Level 2.0 – Student is able to list two or three feelings and actions that are associated with those feelings.
