I love the idea of circle time. I think it is a simple way to bring the kids together and build relationships.

I am amazed at how similar the guidelines of Circle time are to Habits 4,5 and 6. Taking the time to intentionally create a place where barriers can be lifted and students learn to collaborate, problem solve, and understand each other is critical. With building relationships as a major area of focus in our district, teaching students to listen to and respect each other is timely and of high priority. My favorite aspect of the guideline poster is the idea of teaching students to speak and listen from the heart without judgments. I believe students make better choices in behavior and academics when they feel valued, respected, and understood.

I love circle time. It's a great way to build a sense of community in our classroom; and it is an avenue to work on problems/expectations.

Circle Time seems like an excellent strategy. As the teacher in the video said, students really want to be heard and this is an excellent approach!

I like the idea of having a circle time to gauge how your students are feeling at the start of the day. The way students start the day can make or break their success in school.

According to the video, Circles are implemented for classroom management, conflict resolution, and to involve students in an activity. Just like the teacher in the video, when I had circle time I used a talking piece that went around the circle, discussions were about different topics retrieved from a fishbowl, and I would reflect on what kids had to say. My students and I loved circle time because it gave each student the opportunity to be heard and use their voice, it helped build relationships, and it opened everyone's eyes to what others were going through. I learned so much about my students and they learned many things about me.  It was amazing!  The students would ask and request for circle time weekly.  This year, I look forward to implementing what the teacher did in the video. She had her students close their eyes or look gently to the ground to get them focused and she used the scale of 1 to 5 when students described themselves or how they are ready to learn.

I am most intrigued by the RP Circle. I believe using a circle will help build our classroom community and help students feel accepted. Many students do not have a "safe haven" aside from school. A circle will help them build the safe environment in our classrooms and become accountable for their behaviors and actions as they see how it affects others.

I'm most intrigued by Circle Time! I love the idea of opening communication lines within our class! I hope it will encourage students to be honest and that they will feel safe sharing with not only me, but with the whole class as well.

I like the idea of Circle Time. It is a great way to get kids comfortable in the room, build that trusting community, and give them a voice to share their excitement or concerns.

I think circle time will build the sense of community within our classroom, and create a judge-free zone for all students.

I love the circle time game with chairs because it gets the students moving. I know from prior experiences kids really enjoy circle time. I used circle time to help students to building relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most intrigued by, systems set in place that addresses misbehavior in a way that build community and focuses on the affects on peers rather than just rule-breaking. I feel this makes students more accountable.

I like that RP makes students take responsibility for their actions.  It also allows them to see how their behaviors effects others.

I also appreciate the Circle time and the 1-5 learning level for the student. It is something that I can incorporate very nicely in my music classes to deal with classes that do not get along very easily.

I am most intrigued by the idea of circle time. I feel that it will be a great way to build relationships and a sense of community among the children and will give me an easier way to communicate with each and every one of them.

I like the idea of circle time as part of the restorative practices.  I  also like the idea of the focus of calming down and sharing their reasons for acting out.

I am most intrigued by the different ways to use class circles as part of restorative practices. I like that fact that it aids in class building and helps me to connect to my students.

I am most intrigued with by making amends aspect. I feel like its something our students could benefit from and may be pretty interesting to see how they take responsibility to make amends with someone.

# data[].attributes.body
I like Circle Time. It allows time to connect with students and for peers to connect and feel safe and share without judgement.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the way that the restorative questions give the students a chance to cool calm down and express their reasons for acting out. I am anxious to see how it will work in a circle with the whole class involved.

# data[].attributes.body
I am intrigued by the different ways that circles can be used in the classroom. I especially liked in the video had the teacher had the students up out of their seats. They probably felt like they were playing a game when they were actually building knowledge about one another.

# data[].attributes.body
The concept of circle time sounds the most beneficial to me. I believe it would be very useful not only in checking comprehension of lessons, and understanding what may need more teaching, but also as a method for checking in with the students and making sure you know what is important to them and how they learn best.

# data[].attributes.body
I do enjoy circles, however I also like to use peer mediation and restorative conferencing between the wrongdoer and the others impacted. Once you have shown your students how to do it and are consistent with it, they start to mediate and fix problems on their own and step in to diffuse situations. It is important for everyone to understand what is and isn't okay in a circle setting to create the standards and review them, but then taking that into small groups helps the student who messed up, see what their actions have caused and figure out how to fix it or do better the next time.

I really enjoyed watching the video on Circle Time. It is something that I am interested in using in my own classroom as a way for students to share with everyone. I think its also great to use it as a way to monitor who is ready and who is not ready as well as why they feel that way.

# data[].attributes.body
I am most intrigued by circle time because I am excited to implement some of the ideas from the presentation and video. It was interesting to hear how many students valued circles because they felt like equals rather than pupils sitting in their seats listening to a teacher talk.

I am most intrigued by building classroom relationships, and keeping the class connected as a whole!

What I love about circles is the "How you're ready to learn 1-5".  It gives you a great idea how they came in the classroom.  Knowing that can definitely help the teacher increase their "number"/feelings and have a better day of learning!

I love the focus on building those relationships with our students.  One question can make the world of a difference to a kid.

Although I am intrigued by the circles concept (that everything in life is in circles) I am most intrigued by the cool down.  Instead of a time out in PE the student may feel better about a moment to "cool down" and recover much easier.

I am most intrigued by offering a moment to cool down.  I like giving a specified place in the room for students who need to cool down to use the items in the calming area. I have noticed this has helped to stop the behavior from escalating.
