The school days are long but the school year is short, or so they say!
Those last few days of school can feel like they’re never-ending. One way to keep your students busy and engaged is by giving them journal prompts that can help them become centered and focused.
You can use these prompts at the beginning of the school day, right after students come in from a recess break, or at the end of the day as a mindful moment. No matter when you use them, encourage your students to be thoughtful and take their time when they’re writing.
- Explain 3 things you’ll never forget about this school year.
- What are 10 words that describe this year and explain why?
- What are 5 ways you saw change in yourself over this school year?
- What are 3 things that you’d like to improve upon for next school year?
- What are 5 things that you were successful in this school year?
- Explain 3 things you learned this year that were meaningful.
- Explain 4 goals you have for next year.
- Explain 3 challenges you overcame this school year.
