Emotional Literacy in Grade 1

I used the Fischy/James Brown song, 'I feel good/bad/sad' to start off thinking of different ways we can feel good - happy, excited, laughing, wonderful and we can feel bad - sad, angry, worried, scared. The children wrote the words in Burmese and English for a display.

The boy above is writing SCARED.

This boy is ANGRY!

This girl is HAPPY.

The children are writing AFRAID in English & Burmese.

Their photos and writing

will make a good class display

later this week.

The children worked in groups. As you can see, there are no desks or chairs.

And finally, they are feeling HUNGRY

but lunch today, like 3 other days of the week,

is just rice.

Only on Friday do they get a little curry with their rice.
