Hello Rookies!
I’m so excited that I get to be with you this week. It feels like it has been such a long time. I have a question for you, have you ever wondered what it would be like if YOU had a FIRE BREATHING DRAGON?
I have.
Mine would be big and red with yellow. It would be a happy dragon and like to play around with me. He would fly me to the grocery store. He would go camping with me and start my fires EVERY NIGHT! BUT… he would NOT be allowed to eat my dog. And he would NOT be allowed to roar his loudest roar inside. He would also have to learn to control his temper or my HOUSE might burn to the ground!
Heres a book about a boy and his dragon:
Would YOU ever want a dragon? What color would YOUR dragon be? What would it’s wings look like? Where would it sleep? What would it eat? What would be the BEST part about having a dragon of your very own? What would be the HARDEST part? I think the hardest part would be to TRAIN my dragon!
How would you train a dragon to sit?
How would you train a dragon to not knock things down with it’s tale?
How would you teach your dragon about their emotions! Could you imagine what would happen if your fire breathing dragon got angry and you didn’t know how to control it? That would be SOOOO dangerous.
Heres another question. Do YOU know what to do with YOUR emotions?
Do YOU know what to do when you are scared? What about when you are happy and excited? What about when you get mad? We all have emotions. It’s a part of everyone of us. We cant choose to simply not have them. Instead, we have to learn what to do when we experience them.
This week we are going to have some fun with some dragons and their emotions. And then have some fun with us and our emotions!
To get ready for our class read or listen to the book: Teach Your Dragon About Feelings
While you are listening, feel free to draw a picture of what YOUR dragon would look like and bring it to class if you would like.
See you soon!
Miss Jinger
