When I feel excited,
I jump up and down,
skip all around,
grin happy and dance
and run out of the room “FAST!”
When I feel happy,
I play my favorite music
and play with my Mario toys
The End

Cuando yo siento que estoy feliz
Yo quiero estar en la escuela todos los dias.
Y cuando estoy feliz
tambien me gustaria ir al mercado todos dias
y comprar todo
y tambien me gustaria dormir en los nubes.
Cuando yo estoy muy triste
quiero llorar y comer muchos chocolates y helado
y quiero ver peliculas tristed todo el dia
y acobijarme como una pompom
y estar con mi mejor maestra Ms. Amara.
I love her.

When I feel calm
I feel like a day at the spa.
When I feel grateful,
I think of what my mom did for me.
When I feel calm,
It is like going into a book.
When I am grateful,
I bring joy to people’s eyes.
When I feel calm,
I feel like nothing could stop me.
When I feel grateful,
I think about the kindness I gave to people.
When I feel calm,
I feel like I rise up,
into the clouds.
When I feel grateful,
I am grateful for my family.
When I feel calm,
I feel my dreams come true.

When I feel nervous I get thundering.
When I feel calm I get tired.
When I feel surprised I get excited.
When I feel happy I get joyful.
When I feel happy I play my own music.
When I am grateful for my free gifts.
When I’m scared I go to sleep.

When I feel sad I feel tired.
When I feel happy I want icecream.
When I feel sassy I want fancy food.
When I feel mad I want to eat 5 pounds of pizza.
When I feel smart I want roses.
When my dog feels sad I give him a hug.
When I feel hungry I want fall leaves.
When I feel like jumping I hop.
When I feel sad like yarn.
When I feel like a bear I ROARRRRR!
When I feel happy I want more fun.
When I feel wired I feel happy.

Lula Q.

When I feel sad I hear weird music.
When I feel sad I wish for unicorns.
When I feel happy I jump on my bed.
When I feel creative I draw pictures.
When I feel brave I can save the world.
When I feel mad I want to rip the earth.
When I feel embarrassed I hide from people.
When I feel helpful I help everyone.
When I feel calm I read a book.
When I feel lazy I sleep.
When I feel grateful I say I am grateful.
When I feel strong I try to pick up heavy things.
When I feel moody I scare people.
When I feel active I run.

Joshua B.

When I feel happy I jump.
When I feel depressed I wish I can go to disappointment island.
When I feel guilty I feel like a bear that took a dog’s bowl of food.
When I feel happy I wish to have a bear,
