Check in and out crib sheet

Description

Check In’s help to build relationships with everyone in the class. They can be used to gauge feelings and to find out more about each other. They also help with transitioning from one part of the school day to the next. In staff meetings they help adults to leave what they were doing before behind, so they can ‘arrive’ into the meeting ready to discuss the agenda. Check outs provide a moment of reflection. They help to leave the circle and transition into the next part of the day. Here‘s some more information about them, how they are used and what you can do to keep them fresh 20-Check-In_Out-Cribsheet.docx (live.com)
