Emotional Weather Maps Lesson Plan

Students will learn to identify and express feelings by mapping emotions to weather symbols, then create personalized “emotional weather maps” to communicate how they feel.

Developing emotional literacy helps K–2 students recognize and articulate feelings, improving self-awareness, empathy, and communication skills in a supportive classroom environment.
