Drawing Your Feelings- Garden of Feelings

  1. Print this page and cut out the shapes. Help children write an emotion on each petal and illustrate it on the other side. You might ask, “What have you drawn?”; “Can you tell me a story about it?”; “How do you feel when you look at each side of the petals?”

  2. Talk about the emotions children are feeling and use glue to make a flower. Remind kids that feelings of sadness—and lots of other feelings—can come and go.

  3. You might repeat this activity over time to create a “Garden of Feelings.”

Friday: A Poem by Mr. Ravizza

Grief and loss happens to us all,
It hurts more than a big fall!
We have each other to get through this time,
All of our feelings and emotions and thoughts may seem intertwined!
We go through shock, not believing its true,
Our feelings stick to us like glue!
We need to take time to sort it out,
Sometimes, we feel like we have to shout!
It's time to turn to a friend or two,
Maybe a family member or a school counselor will do!
You will be surprised that each one of us have gone through this,
Definitely not something to dismiss!
We all feel pain and need healing too,
This is not easy for me or you!
Take time for self-care and communication,
This will help and support you with illumination!
It takes time to work through the stages,
It takes time like reading a book with many, many pages!
