Create Social-Emotional Learning Check-In Prompts

Generate daily emotional temperature checks that build classroom community.

The Prompt
Acting as a licensed child psychologist, design 10 social-emotional learning check-in prompts for [GRADE_LEVEL] students across a 2-week period. Each day's prompt must: 1) Vary in cognitive demand (Monday: "🌤️☁️⛈️ Pick a weather symbol for your mood" → Friday: "Write a haiku about a challenge you overcame"), 2) Include one academic reflection ("What's one thing you want to improve in [SUBJECT]?") and two emotional intelligence questions ("Which emoji best represents your teamwork today?"), 3) Provide differentiated response options (5-point scales, illustrated choice boards, sentence stems), and 4) Conclude with a future-focused question ("What's one small win you'll aim for tomorrow?"). Structure as a printable 2-page weekly tracker with: Morning/Afternoon check-in columns, space for teacher observations, and a confidential notes section. Use age-appropriate fonts (Comic Sans for elementary; Arial for secondary) and include visual supports for emerging readers.
