Daily Idea #28: Feelings Journal

We’ve all been schooling at home for over a month now and it’s been quite a journey. I know my own personal emotions have been all over the place and sometimes it is difficult to see how many good days I’ve had when they all combine into one.

We are going to create a visual feelings journal to help separate the days and actually see what each day brings.

Items needed—

Graph paper or a paper that you can make enough squares on to complete the school year

pencil

colored pencils or markers

1) set up a grid with each day from now until the end of the school year (I.e May 18th or June 15th)

2) make a key with various colors and the emotions they represent (blue= calm, yellow= happy, red= angry, purple= sad…)

3) at the beginning of everyday think back to the previous day and remember your overall feeling. Color in the square for that day with the color that best fits the emotion.
