Here is a book Mrs Gayle found at the Mobile Library.  In the story the little girl is in a bad mood because she can’t have an ice cream.  The ‘bad mood’ is depicted by a cloud following over her head.  Throughout the story the ‘bad mood cloud’ shifts onto other people.

It illustrates well how being in a bad mood can affect other people around you.  We had a talk about what ‘being in bad mood’ means and talked about things that could happen, or have happened, to put us in a bad mood.  Learning to identify and label feelings is important learning.
