During their time they are reading a book about a scribble spot and then they talk about the book to make sure the kids understand what they heard. They talk about emotions using the different spot characters. The students then do a project lead by the 5th graders. They create a scribble spot of their own that represents how they are feeling that day and then name their scribble spot.
