Monsters and Halloween Week 2

This week: Feelings and Emotions. The monster fun continues as children interact with more monster-themed materials. Start the week off with a reading of Glad Monster Sad Monster and spark a conversation about emotions: What are emotions? What do emotions look and feel like?" and "How are emotions expressed in healthy ways?" After reading the book several times, present the related literacy activity on the -ad word family. Then, select from materials below for a veritable monster mash of learning opportunities that will have children roaring for more. It should come as no suprise that this week's focus letter is "M" for "Monster." Its shape is the hexagon and its color is pink.
