  2. Fill in the outline.
  3. Trace the dotted words.
  4. Write the sentence on the lines provided.
  5. Discuss the various emotions.

While copying out sentences may not seem that significant, these sentences do more than simply help a child practise their penmanship! Copying out sentences about feelings can be a good launching off place for discussions and they help create a culture where it’s normal to hear about and talk about their own feelings.

You can also expand this by having your child talk about a particular time or situation in their life where they felt that emotion and how that was for them.

August My Feelings Log:

This month’s Feeling Logs focus on feelings about going to a new place. This can relate to going to a new school, new classroom, new vacation spot, or any other place that is new for your child. 

These cute popsicle visuals can be a tool to help your child better identify and then work through their own emotions. You can sit down together and have them show you which they have chosen.

Most children this year didn’t get the closure of their school year ending the regular way. They may feel disappointed about things such as vacations or summer camps being cancelled. They may worry that summer won’t feel much like summer since they’ve already been home for weeks or months. 

I know that some of my kids are struggling with big emotions about not being able to go on our usual summer family camping trip and uncertainty about the upcoming school year. 

Simple activities that focus on emotions help kids to learn the vocabulary as well as to get used to talking about their own emotions. 

The printable emotions copywork pages help kids practise their printing while at the same time, associating the emotion word with the appropriate facial expression.

The My Feelings Log for this month helps kids put a name to the feelings they are experiencing. This is the first step in learning to manage those feelings. It is so important.
