When children become aware of how their words and behaviors affect others, they can begin to evaluate what kinds of behavior will work to make friends. When they grab a toy away, they can look at their friends face and discover that grabbing is not a good strategy to maintain a friendship. When they help a friend find their missing shoe, they can see the smile on their friend's face and discover that helping is a good friendship skill. Today we read Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day ,by Jamie Lee Curtis. After we read the book we all had the opportunity to create bagel faces that express a certain mood(silly, mad, crazy, happy). Fun activities like this, help children develop this awareness of how we communicate our feelings/moods with facial expressions/body language.
