Welcome the students to 'The Colors of Me'. Explain that today's lesson is all about exploring who they are using colors. Share that colors can represent feelings, and each student will get a chance to create a self-portrait that shows different emotions.

Introduce the concept that each color can represent a different feeling. Encourage students to think about colors that make them happy, calm, or even excited. Use simple language and engaging questions to kickstart their thinking.

Explain the art activity step. Tell students they will receive construction paper, markers/crayons, and mirrors. Encourage them to look at themselves and choose colors that remind them of how they feel. Walk around and provide gentle guidance as needed.

Guide a reflection session where students share their work. Ask questions like 'What colors did you choose and why?' Ensure that every student feels heard and that all emotions expressed are valued.
