STAR HIGHLIGHTS

Choose your Top 10 moments from the school year

Looking back over the school year is a way for students to reflect on and reinforce what they've learned. If you do a highlights sheet every year, you can save all the sheets as keepsakes to remind you of your school years when you get older.

Use the Top 10 sheet to make a list of the top 10 moments or memories of the past school year -- a test you did really well on, something you enjoyed learning about or thought was interesting, a new friend you made, a class trip, a personal achievement like making the basketball team. These moments twinkle like little stars and are the highlights of your school year.

As a group activity, students can brainstorm things that have happened over the year to spark each other's memories. A teacher can make a running list at the front of the room. Students can then use the list as inspiration to fill in their own Top 10 sheet.
