Description: This is a nice SEL activity to encourage students to reflect on their experiences. Students can be mindful of any particular time such as a previous day, month or even their year. Conversation can be started by discussing the following: a rose is something positive, a thorn is something that may have been challenging, and a bud is something to look forward to. The definitions are provided within the deck. There are also several examples of each. When it is the student's turn to list their rose, thorn or bud, they may type in their examples in the large empty box. Encourage conversation and reflection. It's also a great idea to use the last page to try to turn their thorns into roses. Use this deck daily, weekly, monthly or anytime.
