Reconhecendo Minhas Emoções

Recognizing My Emotions Learning to Identify and Understand Feelings Emotions are part of everyone's life and directly influence how we think, act, and relate to others. Learning to recognize, name, and understand one's own feelings is a fundamental step in developing self-awareness, self-control, and building healthier and more respectful relationships. In this activity, students will be invited to expand their emotional vocabulary, realizing that there are many emotions beyond simply being happy, sad, or angry. Feelings such as anxiety, frustration, pride, gratitude, fear, surprise, insecurity, relief, excitement, and hope are part of everyday life and can arise in different situations in school, family, and social life. Through the use of the Wheel of Emotions, students will have the opportunity to identify how they are feeling and reflect on the events and situations that trigger certain emotions. This practice promotes the understanding of so-called emotional triggers, that is, the factors that influence our emotional reactions and behaviors. The "Today's Diary" activity encourages self-reflection and helps students establish connections between emotions, thoughts, and attitudes, promoting greater emotional awareness and fostering healthier strategies for dealing with challenges, conflicts, and stressful situations. The dynamics of emotional mimicry and the collective construction of the Dictionary of Emotions encourage empathy, active listening, and the ability to recognize feelings in others, strengthening communication, coexistence, and cooperation skills within the school environment. Understanding emotions does not mean avoiding difficult feelings, but learning to recognize them, express them appropriately, and use them as a source of learning and personal growth. Developing this competence significantly contributes to emotional well-being, conflict resolution, and building a more harmonious coexistence. The proposal is aligned with the general competencies of the BNCC (Brazilian National Curriculum Base), especially General Competency 8 (Self-Knowledge and Self-Care) and General Competency 9 (Empathy and Cooperation), favoring the development of socio-emotional skills essential for the personal, school, and social life of students.
