Sketch or Draw

Students draw what they’ve learned or how they feel. Having a piece of art they can view is an excellent way to reflect on in the future. For example, if a child is very frustrated with a new concept, they could draw a picture of how they feel at that time. Over time as the concept becomes easier, they could draw another illustration of how they feel after making progress. They’ll see how far they have come and recognize how their hard work and effort paid off.

Journal

When children journal, they can share their thoughts and feelings at the moment and then look back at them later. Even younger children or those who are unable to write independently can draw pictures, or they can have someone dictate for them

Take a walk.

A walk is a wonderful period to notice what your senses take in, how that makes you feel and what that says about you.
