Welcome to Story Time!

Hello, friend! How are you today? I had a busy but fun day, and I hope you did too! Did you get to do things you love, like reading books? Reading is so much fun, and today we have a special story to share with you!

Our Story: “My Heart”

Today, we’re reading a book called “My Heart” by Karina Boykina. This book is all about how our hearts can feel different things. Let’s explore what our hearts can do!

What Can My Heart Be?

Our hearts are amazing! Sometimes, my heart feels like a window, letting in lots of sunshine. Other times, it feels like a slide, ready for fun! My heart can be open wide or closed tight. How does your heart feel today?

Feelings Are Okay!

Some days, my heart feels cloudy and heavy, like it’s going to rain. That’s when I feel a little sad, and that’s okay! It’s normal to feel sad sometimes. But guess what? Even when my heart feels tiny, it can grow and grow with love and happiness!

Hearts Can Change

There are days when my heart feels like a fence, keeping me away from the world. And some days, it’s a quiet whisper. But even if my heart feels broken, it can always be fixed and open again. Isn’t that wonderful?

My Heart, My Choice

My heart can be a shadow, a light, or a guide. Whether it’s open or closed, I get to decide how my heart feels. And you can decide how your heart feels too!

  1. Heart Feelings Collage: Gather some magazines, colored paper, scissors, and glue. Cut out pictures or draw things that represent different feelings your heart can have, like sunshine for happiness or clouds for sadness. Create a collage on a piece of paper showing how your heart can feel different things. Share your collage with your classmates and talk about what each picture means to you.

  2. Feelings Charades: Play a game of charades with your friends or family. Take turns acting out different feelings your heart can have, like being happy, sad, excited, or scared, without using words. See if others can guess the feeling you’re showing. This will help you understand and express different emotions.

  3. Heart Journal: Start a simple heart journal. Each day, draw a picture or write a sentence about how your heart feels. Is it sunny, cloudy, or something else? At the end of the week, look back at your journal and see how your feelings have changed. Talk about what made your heart feel different each day.

Hey there! Welcome back to Story Time. How was your day? I had a pretty good day—a busy day—but I found some free time for myself and got to do some things that I love. I hope you spent time with the people and things you love too. Did you get to read lots of books? Well, I hope you enjoy reading as much as we do!

Today, we have a book called “My Heart” by Karina Boykina.

My heart is many things. Some days it is open, some days it is broken. Some days it is a window, and some days it is lonely or a whisper. But on most days, it is big, happy, bright, and bursting with joy or swelling with pride. Our hearts are very special because they make us who we are. And when you live with your heart, well, things will always work out.

Well, let’s find out what my heart is about.

My heart is a window. My heart is a slide. My heart can be closed or opened wide. Some days it is cloudy and heavy with rain. Sometimes we may feel sad or down, and you know what? That’s okay too. You’re allowed to feel sad. Some days it is tiny, but tiny can grow and grow. There are days it’s a fence between me and the world, and days it’s a whisper that can barely be heard. There are days it is broken, but broken can be mended, and a heart that is closed can still open again. Yes, it can.

Sometimes we may feel so sad like we’ll never be happy again, but we can.

My heart is a shadow, a light, and a guide—closed or open, I get to decide.

Wasn’t that a beautiful story? I like this book a lot. Do you like this book?
