"Good morning, class! Today, I am feeling happy. I am happy because I get to see you all. How are you feeling?"

"I am happy because I am wearing purple and purple is my favorite color!"

"I am happy because I get to eat chicken nuggets for lunch. My favorite!"

"Today I am sad because I forgot my snack at home."

"I am frustrated because someone else took the morning lesson that I wanted to do."

"I am nervous for the letter sounds activity we have to do today. I am not very good at letter sounds."

"Thank you all for sharing your feelings.  Class, are there ways we can help one another?"

"Let's think about how our friends are feeling and come up with ways to interact with them or help them out."

"You can have some of my lunch since you forgot your snack at home."

"I did not realize I took the lesson you wanted to play with. You can play with these toys with me if you would like to."

"If you are nervous about your letter sounds, we can work together and help you with them!"

"I am feeling confident with my letter sounds now. Thanks to my friends!"
