Welcome students and introduce today’s session. Display the Emotion Chart Poster in the room so everyone can see it.

Point to each feeling on the poster and ask volunteers to name how they feel today.

Briefly explain each emotion word. Use simple kid-friendly language (e.g., “Happy means your heart feels warm.”).

Show Story Slide images 1–5 in order. After each, ask: “What is the character feeling? How do you know?”

Hold up your Breathing Buddy. Model inhale for 3 counts and exhale for 3 counts. Count out loud.

Give each student crayons. Ask them to draw one feeling face and stick it next to that emotion on the class chart.

Pass out the worksheet. Circulate, help students color known faces, and draw themselves doing a belly breath.

Review breathing steps one more time. Encourage students to share the strategy at home and practice when upset.

Welcome students and introduce Session 2. Remind them of how we practiced breathing last time.

Ask for 2–3 volunteers to demonstrate 3 deep breaths with the Breathing Buddy.

Display key story moments and ask how breathing helped our friend feel calm.

Explain and demonstrate tensing fists for 3 seconds, then slowly releasing.

Lead students through PMR steps for hands, shoulders, and face. Count tense and release out loud.

Show the Emotion Thermometer Poster. Invite students to place their sticky note in the correct zone.

Explain the worksheet tasks: drawing the favorite tool and choosing which they will use when upset.

Review both strategies with call-and-response and encourage students to share at home.
