Emotions - My Daily Check In - Little spot of feelings inspired
Inspired by Diane Alber’s series of a little spot of feelings I created this daily check in to have on each student’s table so that they can become more aware of their feelings and also allow me to see how they are feeling without it being overly obvious to everyone else. This is for my SEN students who find communication a real challenge.
I have two versions, one which includes weather icons to help support student’s understanding.
