Welcome to our exciting new unit on Feelings! In this unit, we will be exploring the wonderful world of emotions and learning how they can affect us and those around us.
So, what are feelings? Well, feelings are the different emotions we experience every day. They can be happy, sad, angry, excited, and many more! Sometimes, our feelings can change quickly, like when we get surprised or scared. Other times, they can last for a longer time, like when we feel happy after achieving something we worked hard for.
Did you know that everyone has feelings? Yes, that's right! Even grown-ups have feelings just like children do. Feelings are a natural part of being human, and they help us understand ourselves and the world around us.
When we have positive feelings like happiness or excitement, we usually feel good inside. We might have a big smile on our face or feel like jumping up and down with joy! On the other hand, when we have negative feelings like sadness or anger, we might feel upset or frustrated. It's important to remember that all feelings are valid, and it's okay to feel different emotions at different times.
Throughout this unit, we will be exploring various feelings, how to identify them, and how to express them in healthy ways. We will also learn about empathy, which means understanding and sharing the feelings of others. By the end of this unit, you will have a better understanding of your own emotions and how to support others when they are feeling a certain way.

Hi, my name is Emily and I am 9 years old. I want to tell you about my average day in the style of a journal. Let's get started!
Today was a great day! I woke up early in the morning feeling excited and ready to start the day. After getting dressed and having breakfast, I headed off to school. I love going to school because I get to see all my friends and learn new things. Today in class, we learned about animals and their habitats. It was so interesting!
During recess, I played with my friends on the playground. We laughed and had so much fun. I really enjoy spending time with them. After recess, we had math class. Math is not my favorite subject, but today I felt proud of myself because I solved a difficult problem. It made me feel really smart!
Lunchtime is always a highlight of my day. I sat with my friends and we shared our snacks. We talked and laughed, and it made me feel happy to have such amazing friends. In the afternoon, we had art class. I love drawing and painting, so this was my favorite part of the day. I let my imagination run wild and created a beautiful picture.
After school, I went home and spent some time playing with my little brother. He always makes me smile and I love being his big sister. In the evening, I did my homework and then had dinner with my family. We talked about our day and it made me feel loved and cared for.

One day in Ireland, a heartwarming event took place that touched the lives of many people. It was a sunny afternoon when a group of students from St. Patrick's Primary School decided to organize a charity event to raise money for a local animal shelter. The students were passionate about helping animals in need and wanted to make a difference in their community.
The event, called "Paws for a Cause," involved various activities such as a bake sale, face painting, and a sponsored walk. The students worked tirelessly to promote the event, creating posters and spreading the word among their friends and families. They even reached out to local businesses who generously donated prizes for a raffle.
On the day of the event, the school grounds were filled with excitement and anticipation. Families and community members gathered to support the students' cause. The bake sale was a huge success, with delicious treats disappearing quickly from the tables. Children lined up to have their faces painted with colorful animal designs, and many participants joined the sponsored walk, proudly wearing t-shirts they designed themselves.
The highlight of the day was the raffle draw. The students eagerly announced the winners, and the lucky recipients celebrated their prizes. But what truly made this event special was the overwhelming sense of joy and fulfillment that everyone experienced. The students had not only raised a significant amount of money for the animal shelter but had also created a sense of unity and togetherness within their community.
