This resource was created with PBIS classrooms and schools in mind. Students take a few moments to set intentions for their day, and then reflect on them at the end of each day. I've included whole-class and individual versions. Whole-class versions can be used as morning work and a quick reflection during pack-up. The individual version can be completed independently or with the help of an adult each day.

Teaching style
I am all about trying new things! I would consider my style to be relaxed and play or experience oriented. I hate the idea of homework and I love to instill a natural love of learning with my students. I especially like to create hands-on experiences with oft-hated subject areas like social science and math.
Two things I feel especially passionate about: full inclusivity in classrooms and social justice education.
