This is something I do with all my students at the beginning of each class period and it's a great way to get a feel for how everyone is doing and how the day might go. I ask "What's your number today?" and they respond by holding up the number of fingers that represent how they are feeling:
5 = Awesome
4 = Great
3 = Good
2 = Fair/Meh
1 = Bad
0 = Terrible
I can quickly scan the room and see where extra attention might be needed.

So, just to check in with you all today, what's your number??

I'm around a 4 today. After being a little under the weather for a couple of weeks on and off, I'm feeling pretty good and hope to get caught up on some things that have been put on the back burner :)
 
2....I'm suffering from a headache that won't go away.. and can't sleep.. and just .eh
 
I would be a 4 too.
It's been a little cooler, I went to church and saw friends.
My little heart is thankful.
 
My number is 2 today because of a personal issue in our family today.
 
I’m a 2. What a great way to get a quick barometer of the children’s emotions.
Unfortunately, my cataract surgery did not go well and I have more eye procedures scheduled for the end of the month. The whole ordeal has been distressing and depressing.
I did have a little pick me up from grandson, Connor yesterday. When asked by his mother, what was his favorite restaurant, he said Grandma’s house! ❤️❤️❤️

The students really like it, too and it sometimes gives them an opening to talk if they need to.
So sorry the surgery didn't go well and I hope the future procedures are more successful! Keeping you in my prayers!
And how sweet of Connor! That's a huge compliment!
 
1 for me unfortunately. My evening meal yesterday appears to have been gluten contaminated. The intense pain started about an hour later, and I'm still struggling 24 hours later. Can take up to 4 days to recover fully. I'm hoping it won't take that long this time.

Oh no! Bless your heart. I sure hope you start feeling better quickly!!
 
Sending love Kari, Susan, Carol, and Angela! <3

I'm at a 3 today. It's been a busy weekend and I'm glad to be home. But I'm preparing to start a new job this week, and I think that's getting me a little anxious.

Good luck with the new job! So exciting, but I understand your being anxious! I'm sure you'll do amazing!
 
I'm a 3 today. It was a super busy weekend and it went by so fast. I'm really feeling like I need one more day to my weekend to catch up at home (since I barely spent a minute there all weekend) and rest from it all. Not ready to start my work week just yet...
 
I'm a solid 4 today. My oldest is going through some things right now and asked to spend one-on-one time with me (and their dad) so I made that happen today. Luckily, my parents are close by & are almost always up for helping out including watching the youngest. Anyways, my oldest & I went shopping, watched a movie, and made dinner together, and they got to talk as much as they wanted to without being interrupted by the youngest. I just told them this past week about my boyfriend so it's been nice to talk about that (huge) part of my life with them, too.

It's also been a gorgeous weekend, weather-wise, and tomorrow is likely the last warm fall day of the season so we'll sneak over to the park after school to take our annual pictures (in previous years, they've had to bring winter coats so this is a happy change from the norm), and just anticipating all the photos I'll get and the layouts I'll make with them makes me happy, too.
 
I’d say mostly two for a number of reasons but hearing lockdown restrictions are starting to lift tomorrow at midnight mean I’m ending the day closer to a 3. Honestly can’t see the next while being anything above a 3 while family issues are still present….lockdown restrictions starting to lift is a step in the right direction though.
 
So I was like I'm was a "meh" in my head... it's currently Monday, I'm at work, I'm cold, and daylight savings happened.... then I saw the numbers, and 2 just seems too low.

I think I'll turn myself into at least a 3 - I've got my tea, music, heater and I'm planning my weekend already - my Dad's Birthday, and one of my close friends!! So I'll be a solid 3 soon, lol!
