V. Warm up:
1. Poem "Any way I feel"
When I am happy, I laugh. Ha, ha, ha.
When I am sad, I cry. Boo, hoo, hoo.
When I am angry, I yell. Rats, rats, rats
When I am down, I sigh. Ahh, ahh, ahh.
Any way I feel, I can show it to you.
Do you ever feel the same way, too?
When I am tired, I yawn. Aw, aw, aw.
When I am silly, I giggle. Hee, hee, hee.
When I am sick, I moan. Oh, oh, oh.
When I am excited, I wiggle. Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle.
Any way I feel, I can show it to you.
Do you ever feel the same way, too?
2. Answer the question.
- Do you know the difference between feelings and emotions?
(Dr.Sarah Mckay, neuroscientist and author of the Your Brain Health blog explains it as:
Emotions play out in the theater of the body. Feelings play out in the theater of the mind.)

- What do you feel when you have goose bumps? (*Typically: get ~ have ~ give someone.)

rhyme, but this is not a requirement.)
You mix and disrupt me,
But it makes me stronger.
You just ignore me,
But I get harder the longer.
To cap it off,
It's surprising to see,
You end up walking
All over me.
What am I?
