Think Sheet

I'm super dooper excited to be linking up for my first blog hop with Jasmine from Buzzing with Mrs. McClain! You Oughta Know About Think Sheets! This isn't a new idea by any means, but I can honestly say I have never been in a classroom and seen these used once. They sounded a little ridiculous to me when I first thought about using them. I was quite certain no six year old child would sit and fill these out responsibly. Plus, every Think Sheet I found was full of large words and extensive…

The think sheet is intended to help kindergarteners reflect on and take ownership of their behaviors.

The other day, my teens were having a dispute. Unkind words were being thrown back and forth like ping pong balls. My otherwise amiable children were not being so amiable. I was not happy.

Behavioral think sheets also provide an opportunity for students to develop empathy and perspective-taking skills. As they reflect on their behavior, they are encouraged to consider the feelings and perspectives of others who may have been affected. This helps students develop a greater understanding of the impact of their actions.
