Self-reflect December Challenge

It’s almost December which means 2018 is almost over! How?! I mean, last time I blinked it was summer! And with the End Of Year Month I have an idea for a little challenge I want to share with you and make it a nice game where we can reflect on 2018 a bit.

I’ve never been good when it comes to New Year’s resolutions, but I think reflection is quite important when one wants to develop one’s skills and broaden one’s mind. Was it a good year? I guess it wasn’t a bad one, neither for me nor for you and if you look at the set of questions you will see how much you’ve learnt, how much you know and how inspiring this year has been.

You may download the picture with the challenges and do your own little self-reflect sessions. You may share it on Facebook (I’ll be definitely doing this challenge on my page!) or your own blog. The greatest benefit of such challenge is to sum up your whole year as a teacher, remember the best moments and believe 2019 will be even better.
