This activity is a perfect summer counseling lesson which encourages emotional awareness by encouraging individuals to reflect and gain insight into their various emotional states.

This summer counseling lesson resource encourages students to imagine that they are walking along the beach while they are in a particular emotional state and they come across a “message in a bottle” which is just perfect for what they need and want while they are in that emotional state.

Many people think of being happy and excited as good emotions and anger and sadness as being bad ones. Because of this, many people spend years trying to repress, block or avoid these emotions. But it is important to know that all emotions are normal. Three are no good or bad feelings or emotions. They are messages.

This summer counseling lesson activity includes the following:

- About this summer counseling activity

- Emotions are not good or bad handout

- Imagine This… (narrative)

- The process – What to do

- Examples of Completed bottles (sadness and anxiety)

- Bottle and Note templates for the following states (angry, sad, bored, confused, curious, disappointed, embarrassed, grumpy, excited, happy, anxious, proud, scared and shy)

"If your feelings had something important to say, what would they tell me.”

This is a movie watch along to go with Dr. Seuss's The Grinch (2018) and/or the classic book. Students will answer questions about the main idea and theme of the movie/story. They will also need to provide supporting details for both the main idea and theme. **A great extension for older students is to have them practice citing their details**

This would be a great activity to have the students do during a movie day to help keep them focused and engaged. I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review!

How to Catch a Snowman by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton, is a fictional winter story about kids trying to catch a clever snowman. The book lends itself to many ways to integrate STEAM, ELA, Math, and even Science activities to accompany the book. In this product, there are activities centered around STEAM, and ELA. You will need to get some supplies for students to build for the STEAM part and you can either build (or buy) a snowman yourself for the kids to try to trap or have them build one. (I would recommend things like bathroom paper tubes, pipe cleaners, and things like that).

Students will first read the book as a whole class and then focus on some story elements from the story. Once they have completed that, they will begin creating a plan to catch the snowman! (I would recommend having the students in groups). Then once students have completed their plan, they can then begin building their trap to catch the snowman. They will then test it and once they test it, they will complete the form that has them reflect on their build.

I always begin the activities the week before Christmas break as a way to help keep students engaged during the crazy week as they get ready for Christmas. I then return to the book when we get back from break to help refocus my students into the routine of school. I hope you enjoy these activities.

Merry Christmas! This is a self-portrait that students will create of themselves. They will then use adjectives to describe their self-portraits/themselves and place them in the ornaments surrounding the self-portrait. There are included cutouts for the self-portrait if students would like to add more things to make it look more like Christmas. The Santa hat, antlers, and ears have already been shaped to fit the head. Students will just need to cut them out.

I hope this helps get your students into the Christmas spirit! This will be a great product for displaying student work also. I hope you enjoy it!
