SEL Check-In

On Thursdays, our Morning Meeting Activity is Social Emotional Learning Check-in. Students fill in this Google Form. I write a question on the board for them to answer. Some questions include:

When you grow up, what job would you like and why?

What are your family's traditions in the winter?

I wish my teacher knew....

If you could have one wish granted, what would it be?

Students' answers are read by me and sometimes I respond via email or bring up a topic in our Morning Meeting. Sometimes I ask a student to share with the class if they feel comfortable doing so. It's just a quick check-in to see how my kids are doing, but it leads to rich discussions and learning about each other usually.
