Students might use this exact starter or take creative liberties by changing up the phrasing. I usually suggest the use of the sentence starter “My heart fills with happiness when…”.
Students of any age can easily use the pattern of the text to generate their own written ideas. The simplicity of the text make it great to use as a model text for writing. It doesn’t have a lot of words, but it has a lot of meaning. My Heart Fills with Happiness is a beautiful book by Monique Gray Smith about the things that bring us joy. I’ve read it in so many classrooms across my division and also shared it with teachers and students in other places when presenting and leading workshops. This is one of my favourite read alouds to share with all ages.
