What kids do
“Cut apart the strips and tape one to a student’s desk. Write a goal, and add a tally each time you notice it.”
Printed on the sheet:
- I am working on:
- Tally each time I do it
Teacher tip
Tape the strip to the desk and give a quiet tally instead of a verbal reminder.
How to use it
- Give the sheet only when the child is calm. Reflection does not work in the middle of big feelings.
- Sit next to the student and talk it through, especially for younger kids.
- Fill one in with the class the first time so kids see what a finished one looks like.
Watch for
Students who write what they think you want to hear. Ask follow-up questions.
Talk about it
- What could you try next time?
- Why do you think we use this in our classroom?
