I’m feeling nostalgic today for a combination of reasons:
…looking through old photos to find something specific for a friend… thinking of my dad (it’s been 22 years since I’ve spent Father’s Day with him)… and a family member hospitalized…
I’m grateful for the photographs that capture moments in our lives, some obviously significant and others deceivingly less so at the time. If we’re lucky, these pictures spark joy and memories, too.
As the end of the school year approaches, help your students capture some moments from the year. Provide these prompts and let students move between them as they freewrite:
- My favourite part of this year was…
- The funniest moment was when…
- My teacher…
- What I learned most about myself…
What might they respond? What might you respond?
Don’t rush this one… enjoy both the process and the moments captured on paper.
