What kids do

“The student checks in with a mentor each morning, gets points from the teacher in each part of the day and checks out before going home.”

Printed on the sheet:

  1. Today’s point goal:
  2. Lunch and recess
  3. Science or social studies
  4. 2 = great 1 = okay 0 = try again. Circle or write the number in each box.
  5. Goal met? yes / no:

Teacher tip

Check in with the student each morning and afternoon, and keep the tone warm and encouraging.

How to use it

  • Focus on the plan for next time, not on the mistake.
  • Use a calm, neutral voice so the sheet feels like help, not punishment.
  • Introduce the sheet once, model it, then make it part of a routine so kids know what to expect.

Watch for

Reflection sheets used too often. If a student needs one daily, look for a bigger need.

Talk about it

  • What could you try next time?
  • Why do you think we use this in our classroom?

Take it further

Celebrate when a student uses their plan successfully.
