Get access to 3 vibrant and unique editable Google Forms ready for back to school! Get to know your students on a deeper level, have fun with "this or that" quick fire questions and ask your students' parents some insightful questions too!
You will also be able to see student responses live on screen and use this information to really get to know your students. Also very handy if you really don't want to be dealing with extra piles of paper this year!
New to Google forms? Don't worry, I have also included an exclusive video to guide you through how to use these forms in your own classroom :)
***
Here’s a little background story as to why I created these Get to Know You Google forms: I recently took over a new class and I had a “hand over” meeting with their former teacher to tell me more about them. She knew most of them well academically and behaviourally, however she floundered when asked about their personal interests and admitted she couldn’t tell me anything about some of them…!?
I wanted to make sure I knew something about every one of my kids, hence these Google forms were born! You’re bound to learn something about each student if you actually make an effort to ask them (and the quiet ones might prefer to type it up rather than talk about it) and you can then use that information to help build relationships over time.
This set contains 3 different forms for you. There are 2 forms for students:
• one goes deep on on their interests, fears and hobbies
• the other is a more laid back and fun school related “this or that” game
• the third form is for the parents / guardians so you can start to build a relationship with them too by getting their perspective on their child, learn what they want from you and how they would like to be contacted etc.
The Google Forms are attractive and vibrant and can be done in class or completed as homework on any device that is connected to the internet. I wish you a long and happy relationship with your new class this year!
Make it your mission this year to take your life back with this well-being journal. Use for yourself or issue to your students to help them keep a journal of their life so they can reflect as well as set targets and track their progress to build positive habits.
We’re all so busy and we give so much to other people that self-care often goes on the back burner. It’s crucial we take care of our well-being as it affects the way we feel and think, the way we cope with life’s challenges and how we can make the most of our potential.​
If we neglect to make an effort to take care of our well-being we can find ourselves stressed, jaded, unfulfilled or feeling trapped.
After getting overwhelmed with life as a teacher, I started to set and track my progress in habits I wanted to create, as well as journaling. It has been essential in helping me form good habits and take care of my emotional state too. By recording my journey, I have been able to spot patterns in my mood over the course of a year and I’m now able to plan ahead, manage my life effectively and look after my well-being. With this journal, you and your students can have that same control and emotional freedom!
Journal includes:
70 pages
Every page is hand rendered in zentangle style for mindful colouring
Monthly journal pages for brief journaling
Weekly journal pages for brief journaling
Daily journal pages, both with prompts and plain for more detailed journaling
Prompts encourage you to focus on achievement, self-care and future thoughts
Daily tracker with 4 point system to monitor and review well-being each day
Monthly gratitude jar keepsake to record daily joys
12 different zentangle themes for each month to add variety
4 different types of trackers: mood, sleep, exercise and one for your own habits​
Benefits:
It’s so easy to get caught up in day to day life that your well-being falls by the wayside but having somewhere to record your thoughts, feelings, memories and emotions puts these in the forefront of your mind ensuring you focus on them.
Journaling has been proven to reduce physical disease symptoms and anxiety, enhance self-esteem and increase self-awareness.
It can improve your self love and help you become really in tune with your own thoughts and emotions.
Writing engages both the left and right side of the brain, enhancing problem solving capabilities.
When you journal, you can go back and identify patterns to help you in the future as well as identify areas of personal growth to help you celebrate your successes.
Overall, promotes well-being by allowing you to monitor your mental, physical and emotional wellness.

Are you concerned about the effects of social media on the emotional health of your students and looking to develop a responsive classroom by incorporating Social Emotional Learning?
It is impossible for our young people to completely avoid social media. It’s a world that most of us teachers or parents didn’t grow up with in our own youth, so it’s challenging for adults to guide students appropriately in this arena.
As we know, social media has a significant effect on mental health so it’s important for students to be aware of this and develop healthy ways to use this platform, as it’s not going away any time soon.
This resource will help you guide your students the right way. It has been designed to make it as easy to deliver as possible! It includes a structured PowerPoint that guides your class through discussions about social media and the effects it can have on mental health and how to have a positive experience online. No prior knowledge or experience from you is required! On top of this, the PowerPoint text is editable so you can modify the content to suit your students’ needs, should you wish.

Product includes:
• 31 slide PowerPoint

• 4 scenarios to analyze
• 24 discussion cards
Students will learn:

20 colorful Smart Response Posters to empower your students to have smart responses when dealing with rude comments, disputes and setting boundaries.
It’s frustrating and heartbreaking to watch your students get into arguments and relationship challenges due to the words they use. Words can hurt but it’s tough to always know the best thing to say.
You want to empower your students to be able to respond to awkward, rude, uncomfortable situations with calmness, clarity and class, and now you can easily help them do this!
This set of classroom school posters contains 20 quotes that help students deal with rude comments, uncomfortable conversations or disputes and for setting healthy boundaries. These promote better classroom community and social, emotional learning. They would also work perfectly in a school counsellor’s office!
You can display them in your classroom/school corridors as well as use them to prompt class discussions about why these make powerful responses and how it might affect the outcome.
The posters have a bright watercolor theme and are suitable for all age groups and environments.
I hope you enjoy using these in your classroom and around your school building to encourage your students to use the right words to empower them in challenging situations.
