Emotions
Resource Materials:
Seuss, Dr. My Many Colored Days. Illus. Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher.
Discussion:
Emotions affect each and every person every day in different ways, and depending on what emotion you feel it can effect how you dress with color. My Many Colored Days is a book that can be used to teach kindergarten children how clothing colors can tie into emotions.
How to teach it:
A good way to teach emotions and clothing colors to kindergartens children is first explain what emotions are, by giving examples of from My Many Colored Days. Then over a one week period have the children dress how they feel emotionally that day. During class that day have the children explain why they dressed the way they did. You could also ask the class throughout day if their emotions have changed during the day and explain that your emotions can change.

That is a good idea with allowing the children show their emotions through their clothes
