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.
