TITLE:  WHAT ARE THEY FEELING ?

AUTHOR:  Dina Merchant, Klawock Elementary School;
         Klawock, Alaska

GRADE LEVEL:  Appropriate for grades K-3

OVERVIEW:  This is a pre-introduction to the SDMPS readiness
program that will help students visually identify what
various feelings look like.  I designed this activity to
show students that by observing a given look on a picture of
a face they can identify the feeling and react appropriately
to it.

OBJECTIVE(s):  Students will be able to:
1.   List at least 15 feelings that people have.
2.   Demonstrate through role-play what the feelings look
     like.
3.   Describe what the feelings feel like.
4.   Identify various pictures depicting the feelings
     discussed.

RESOURCES:
Teacher Materials = large chart paper and pens
Student Materials = magazines, scissors, glue, large chart
     paper.

ACTIVITIES AND PROCEDURES:
1.   Spend a week listing feelings - giving students a
     chance to really think of all the various feelings.
2.   Pantomime the list of feelings during the next week.
3.   Role-play the feelings during the next week.
4.   Chart, with pictures, what the feelings look like the
     following week.

TYING IT ALL TOGETHER:  The children are now prepared to
start working on the SDMPS elementary program.
