Instructional Ideas

• Invite pupils to create their own reflection statements on page two of the worksheet 
• Go around the room and direct each class member to share one of their reflection statements 
• On the last day of school, have everyone read their Next year, I hope to... statement; then, remind them to keep the paper safe so they can check back the following year to see if their hopes became reality 

Classroom Considerations

Pros
