Directions:
Ask your child to share a story about a time when he visited a new place, such as his first day of school, or the day you moved into a new home. If you have pictures of the experience, take a look at them together before you begin.
Help him shape his story by asking questions that help him remember the experience. "Do you remember how you felt on your first day of school? Who was the first person who talked to you? Do you remember what she said?"
When he has finished talking about what he remembers, take out some paper and crayons and ask him to draw a picture that shows how he felt that day. Write the names of the feelings on the bottom of the picture. For example, you might write at the top of his drawing, "When I started school…" and then on the bottom, "I felt scared and excited."
