3A Student demonstrates awareness of other people's emotions and perspectives. (I care about the feelings and viewpoints of others.)

3D Student can read social cues. (I care about how I perceive others and how they perceive me.)

Chart Paper Feeling Faces Cards (with word and face depicting feeling) -begin to recognize and identify feelings in others. -recognize that there are similarities and differences in how people show their feelings. 1. Follow notes for activity on p.36. You may need to do further examples of “comfortable” and “uncomfortable” (depending on your group) before launching into activity. 2. Think of examples that happen in your classroom as well as using the examples given in the book. I’ve found it is always more effective to use familiar situations (coming to school for the first time, getting yelled at by a grown up, being pushed down by an older student, being asked to play by a favorite friend, earning a sticker for making good choices) Informal anecdotal notes from this discussion. You could track (on a spreadsheet) each person guessing feeling with facial expressions or voice tone.

 * Describe Lesson Steps/Leading Statements:**
 * Guessing Feelings--
 * 1) Follow manual notes for gathering and agenda check on p.35
 * 2) From Lesson 6, use feeling cards to review the names of each with the class.
 * 3) After reviewing feelings, teacher tells the class they get to “guess the feeling”. Teacher shows an emotion and quiet hands need to go up to guess the feeling. I also use a “respond signal” for the group to answer in unison (both of my hands up, then snap down for the response). Try guessing several feelings.
 * 4) Follow up game with discussion of what helped them guess the feeling. What were they looking for? What changed on my body from each feeling?
 * 5) Have a couple of volunteers try to demonstrate a feeling and have the rest of the class guess.
 * 6) Change the game up by showing voice tone can tell how someone is feeling. Using a simple phrase like “today is Tuesday”…say it with different feelings in mind and have the children guess. If they are following along well, have a couple of volunteers try it.
