Aargh! I'm so mad and I don't know what to do!

Hey what's wrong Alex?

I have an idea! Why don't you write about it in your journal?

My journal?! How is that going to help me?

Mr. Zepeda says that when we are mad or sad we can use our journals to write down our feelings.

Any Feelings?

Sure! That is what I do when I 'm mad or sad. 

You? Mad or sad, you always seem so happy. 

Well ever since I started writing down my feelings in my journal my days have been filled with more joy. 

 What if I don't feel like writing?

When I don't feel like writing, I draw.  I use colors to show my feelings like when I'm sad I use blue but when I'm happy I  use yellow or orange.

Oh ok, I guess I can try that. 

Here, give it a try.

Ok lets see how this goes. 

Hey Alex, how was your day today?

I had a rough morning, but after I wrote my feelings down in my journal, I had a great rest of the day.  Thank you, maybe next time I can share with the class. 

THE END
