Feelings Check-In

Every time I meet with a student, I have them show me how they're feeling and rate certain topics on a scale from 1-10 (1 is sad, 10 is happy). Some topics include home, school, friends, family, math, reading, writing, etc. 

Afterwards, we discuss why they are experiencing that feeling and/or why they rated a topic a certain number. 

This helps students specifically express how they are doing or jog their memory of something that happened recently. It also helps me open a topic of discussion and find solutions to potential issues that may not come up naturally in conversation.
