What Am I Feeling?

This social-emotional learning worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 strengthen emotional identification, communication awareness, perspective-taking, tone analysis, and self-regulation skills. By reading short, realistic statements, learners analyze context and intent to identify both the underlying feeling and the communication style-assertive, aggressive, or passive-building a clear connection between emotions, expression, and relationship outcomes.

This printable worksheet helps students build emotional literacy, communication insight, and analytical reading skills by examining how feelings and behaviors work together. By identifying emotions and communication styles side by side, learners develop empathy, self-awareness, and healthier expression strategies. It’s a practical, no-prep resource that fits naturally into both classroom instruction and homeschool learning while supporting positive social-emotional growth.
