Hello, my name is Ms. Wroth.

Today's lesson is called "Our emotions," and this fits into the lesson unit Emotions: How do I feel today? In this lesson, we are going to be learning about all the different emotions that we feel in our bodies and in our minds.

So let's get ready to begin.

Let's get our eyes ready to look, our ears ready to listen, and our brains ready to do some thinking.

Today's lesson outcome is: I can describe the basic human emotions.

Let's begin by taking a look at our ground rules together, and we have some friends here to help us.

Laura says we should listen to others, and that means we are not going to interrupt or talk when somebody else is speaking.

Andeep says we should respect privacy, and that means if somebody decides to share a story or their own experience, that we are not going to tell others outside of this lesson.

Jacob says, "No judgement ." And that means if somebody does decide to share their own story or experience, that we are not going to judge them because of it.

And Izzy says, "Choose your level of participation," and that means you can decide if you simply just want to listen or if you want to share something throughout today's lesson.

All of these ground rules are here to keep everybody safe in the lesson.

Here are today's keywords.

I will read them first to you, and then you can repeat them after me.

Are you ready? Emotions.

Happy.

Sad.

Angry.

Worried.

Well done.

Emotions are feelings we have inside, like happiness, sadness, or anger.

Happy means a feeling of joy or gladness.

Sad is a feeling of being unhappy, without joy.

Angry means feeling annoyed or frustrated.

And worried means feeling scared or nervous about something that might happen.

Let's see if we can spot any of these keywords throughout today's lesson.

Here is the lesson's outline, and we're going to begin with, what emotions can we feel? We can feel different emotions in our bodies.

One emotion that we can feel is feeling happy.

When we are happy, we might smile or laugh, feel full of energy, feel relaxed in our body, or we might enjoy being still and calm.
