WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
This is used as a feelings check in at the beginning of each class. I refer to the different quadrants and then call out one of the feeling words. We are working on identifying our own feelings as well as expanding our feeling word vocabulary.

We use this resource in all of our classes as we are learning to build empathy. It gives students words to use in describing the feelings of people we are learning about. For example, in reading, we will stop in a book at certain points and discuss how a character is feeling using our chart for words. We use it in social studies to understand how people felt at different times in history, such as Native Americans during the late 1800’s and the opening of the West. We use it in Bible to discuss how different Bible characters may have felt at different times.

I have young children and I’m a therapist in training so I’m always on the look-out for resources that make understanding and identifying feelings easier. The pdf is very crisp and clear and would suit online use or print out. Thank you for creating and sharing this lovely resource for free.
