ASSIGNMENT FOR PARENTS

INSTRUCTIONS: Using Vocabulary How to Help:

We are using pictures and sentences to help emotion
words become part of our everyday vocabulary.
Steps:
1. Find Moody and Sensation icons on the last pages of
this handout and cut them out.
2. Starting on page 2, each page highlights an emotion
word. Read about each emotion word and then
choose a Moody icon and a sensation icon that you
think matches the word. Tape or glue them onto
the emotion word page.
Expanding a child’s daily vocabulary
Look at the words emphasized in this worksheet. If
your child is not sure of the meaning of word, show
them how to look up the meaning of a word.
Example:
“Let’s see why the word elated and the word delighted
are synonyms. Let’s look up their definitions.”
This type of support helps children learn how to
search out the information they need.

3. Write your own sentences using the emotion word or

one of its synonyms.

Extra: Choose a color, draw a picture, or cut out a

picture that you think goes with the emotion vocab
word.
