Highlight of the Week
A mindful way to reflect
In this activity students will reflect on the past week and share the ways they have continued learning and growing. This reflection will help students celebrate and build on their success and gives every student’s the opportunity to be heard, every single week. The check-in is also a great opportunity for the teacher to see what activities and/or lessons the students enjoyed and take that feedback into consideration when planning for the following days and weeks.
