Welcome your students into the classroom with this quick and easy activity!

Start by asking each student to write down one emotion they are feeling as they enter the classroom in the morning. Share your emotion first, then have your students share their emotion with the class and why they feel that way.

This is a simple and effective way to encourage students to share how they feel, and show them how to react when their peers are feeling a certain emotion.
