Instead of having the kids sit at their seats during this lesson, Mrs. Frohlich had the kids sit on the carpet in a circle. I thought this was a great idea because it makes talking about emotions more personal and they can see each others' faces. They also talked about shapes and colors--all from the first page. =)
While going over each shape below, Mrs. Frohlich had the kids look around the room for these shapes or think about items in their homes or other places shaped like these.
