Let's Explore Feelings! Fun with Faces and Words

This exciting worksheet is all about the many feelings we experience! Get ready to be an artist, a detective, and a storyteller!

Here's what kid'll do:

1. Become a Face Artist! Look at the blank face on the page. Imagine different feelings and emotions. Use crayons or markers to draw what a happy face might look like, or a sad face, or even a surprised one!
2. Word Detective! See those words below the faces? Trace the letters with a pencil to learn how to spell words like "happy," "sad," and "surprised."
3. Storytelling Time! Think about situations that might make someone feel a certain way. For example, if you drew a happy face, what could make you feel happy? Maybe getting a new toy or playing with friends? Write a short sentence about a situation that might cause that feeling.

This worksheet is a fun way to explore the world of emotions and how to express them!

These fun and engaging posters aim to foster independence and autonomy in the French Immersion classroom for your young K-2 students. Posters are used as visual cues and reminders of morning routines helping students to do things on their own. Ideal for the Kindergarten to Grade 2 classroom.

I use these posters in my cubby area as a visual checklist for students each day as they arrive. I also post visual cues for work time with the order of operations for each task. 1. write your name, 2. colour, 3. cut, 4. glue, and 5. raise your hand. The order is for you to choose.

When my students are brand new to cutting and pasting into scrapbooks they: write their name, cut, raise their hand (so I can check before they glue), glue, and then colour. It’s entirely up to you!

Posters include:

Each poster great graphics so students can easily associate the picture with the action. Clear step by step instructions. Regular sized poster so you can copy and go, or larger sized numbers and cards for placing into pocket charts.

Slogans included:

Je mange: 1. sac à diner, 2. reste assis, 3. range mon sac, 4. jette les déchets, et 5. nettoie

Je travaille: 1. écris ton nom, 2. découpe, 3. colle, 4. lève la main, et 5. colorie

Le matin: 1. sac à diner, 2. cahier de communication, 3. bouteille d’eau, 4. souliers, et 5. faire le travail matinale

Appropriate audience:

I use these posters in my French Immersion classroom with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students. I feel confident that they could be used for any grade from K-6 and for those students with IEP or special needs learning in a French environment.

I would love to know how you are using this product in your classroom. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have anything to say about this resource.

I feel confident that students from Kindergarten to Grade Three will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.
