Lily's Cloudy Feelings

"Just like clouds, feelings come and go. Some are light and gentle, and some are heavy, but none stay forever."

Lily is setting up a picnic when a strong wind scatters all the picnic items, leaving her feeling upset. Her friends remind her that feelings-just like clouds-come and go. Together, they help Lily notice what she's feeling and where she feels it in her body, then show her how to let those feelings pass. With a few calming breaths, Lily begins to feel better. She learns that feelings don't last forever, and that paying attention to her emotions can help her handle anything that comes her way.

In this lesson, students learn to notice their feelings and where those feelings show up in their bodies-such as in their belly, chest, or face. Students practice naming emotions, tuning into body signals, and using simple strategies to manage big feelings, helping students build emotional regulation, and inner confidence through paying attention and reflection.
