Teaching Character Education? Showing gratitude has been proven to increase long-term well-being, improve health, relationships, emotions and help us bounce back from stressful experiences.
With the significant increase in stress and anxiety among our young people, it is more important than ever that as teachers, we are catering to our students’ emotional needs in the classroom.
This Gratitude Journal is the ideal way to help our students focus on the good aspects of their life and to appreciate their blessings – every one of us has something to be thankful for and this journal will be sure to highlight it! The journal contains 52 prompts, one for each week of the year. Each prompt is unique and encourages reflection on a wide range of life experiences, allowing for much more creativity and diversity in thinking and responses.
It is not labelled by month or date so can be started at any time in the year – new starts don’t have to only begin on January 1st, and gratitude isn't just for Thanksgiving!
You can let students take them home to complete as a private activity, or it can be done in school maybe at the start of the week as a Monday Morning Meeting.
You will receive both a PRINTABLE and DIGITAL version to suit your needs! The digital one is ideal for opening up on Google Slides as it can be completed and looked at on any device, whenever and wherever!
P.S. It’s also great for teachers too: we can all take time to have an attitude of gratitude!
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!
