Getting ready for week three with the Feelings Theme. It is important for children to recognize others emotions and be able to express their own emotions. They can’t do this unless they are familiar with each feeling and what it means. NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum.
As you go through this week’s activities make sure tag @kidslearningforlife to share the activities you do! Also, don’t forget to follow us on Facebook or Instagram!
