My Feelings Journal — Feelings Worksheets

About this resource

Emotional vocabulary grows slowly, through the daily habit of checking in. My Feelings Journal makes that habit easy to start for Grades 2–5, with prompts structured enough to guide and open enough to feel personal. These SEL worksheets build Self-Awareness: noticing a mood, naming it and finding words for what is there.

What students practice

• Checking in on their mood each day
• Finding words for feelings
• Noticing what they are grateful for
• Setting a small goal for tomorrow
• Using calming self-talk

What’s inside

• 20 journal prompts, each in three editions: Pastel Calm, Serene Earth and black-and-white (60 journal pages)
• A Today’s Mood Rainbow check-in on every page
• A Wild Imagination Space for drawing and a Gratitude Garden for thanks
• Tomorrow’s Treasure Map for goals and a Thought Treasure Chest for calming self-talk
• Teacher notes on running a journal session; 68 pages

A look inside

• “Something That Surprised Me Today Was…”
• “Tomorrow, I will show kindness by…”
• “One person who made a difference in my day…”

How to use this my feelings journal

• A quick check-in as morning work or an end-of-day reflection
• Bind the pages into a booklet so students can look back at earlier entries
• Use the black-and-white edition to save ink, the color editions as daily journal inserts
• A calm-corner option when a student needs a quiet task

Grade fit

The drawing space supports younger writers, and the open prompts give older students room to write more. That makes the journal fit Grades 2–5.
