Recognizing and Understanding Feelings

For my first and second graders I frequently help them understand emotions with books, charts, and this simple chart of 3 types of feelings (pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral). They really like C. S. Snodgrass(2008) What's That Look on Your Face? I use the companion chart that does not have the labels to check to see if they can identify the feelings using the facial and body language cues. We can always add other words the the 3 Types of Feelings chart since it is laminated and therefore erasable.
