Emotions need an outlet and a good morning can really turn bad if u cant share either your happiness or what is making you sad.
Morning time ...at least 5-10 mins should be devoted to letting children vent off their feelings.At our school circle time is not only for the babies its for the older children too..Message Mural is one activity we have made into a regular practice.All you need to do is-
Tape a long piece of poster/chart paper or several paper grocery bags on the wall. As the children arrive, given them crayons or markers. Ask them to print or draw on the paper a word, a message, or an illustration about something they did, or something they want to tell their friends. Later, at the beginning of circle time, encourage the writers and artists to tell about their messages.
Other children may want to add their own responses to the mural or describe how they feel.
Sharing of emotions both positive and negative becomes easy and what better than to have a friend give a suggestion or support to ones thoughts.
