The advantage of completing Feelings Check In activities on a regular basis is that teachers may be able to ascertain patterns in their students’ feelings that can further inform how they can support their students.
Support: Please note that Seesaw is not responsible for the outcome of student responses. It is the responsibility of the teacher to determine how to respond to student submissions. Teachers should always reach out for support if they find a student response concerning.
