Learning about emotions in Kindergarten!
Mrs. Porter's Kindergarten students read The Kissing Hand and talked about the different emotions we experience. Then they used Play-Doh to mold different emotions from the story while strengthening their fine motor skills.

Learning how text is structured helps students better understand what they read, and they had a great time doing it!
