Teaching Emotions to Preschoolers & Kindergarteners

Teaching emotional recognition to our preschoolers and kindergarteners is a necessary part of literacy and social development.  Students can learn about emotions through simple cartoons featuring basic emotions.  The latest in our series of emergent readers covers the basic emotions with a fall twist. Below you will see our fall scarecrow emergent reader in action!

Here are some teaching ideas for

our fall scarecrow emotions emergent reader:

  • Have your students circle or highlight the feeling word for visual reinforcement. 
  • Then have students act out that emotion.
  • Bridge a “text to self” connection by asking the kids to share an example of when they felt the way the scarecrow does on each particular page.

This emergent reader has repetitive text that helps build confidence with a beginning reader. It covers the sight word “the” and the common action word “feels” while teaching the basic emotional states.  The emotional states covered are happy, sad, angry, sleepy, worried, silly, and scared.

Need more practice with emotions?

Meet the Teachers

Meet the Teachers

Back when we were both teaching, we dreamed of a website that would make lesson planning easier. We both remember late nights scouring search engine for unit ideas. After searching 1000s of blogs and sites, nothing was exactly meeting our vision: creative resources for the overworked teacher or homeschooler! So…this was born.
