I explored the Building Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Strategies for Early Childhood:

I teach in an EI strand which sometimes students struggle with things I don't often think about. I have. student who has ADHD and grade level math skills but refuses to do anything. Using the tool library I was able to pull his information as well as add in class notes to generate strategies that can help him get more involved with his work

I used gemini to create me visuals and graphic organizers for the current unit we are working on. I gave it a list of prompts for images and it created me each image. The prompts that were more for images and not numbers/words came out perfect to think about using them in the classroom for student reference binders

# data[].attributes.body
I had solara create me a crash course for high school math for my students. It was able to reference the math curriculum to create a clear 10 day plan with how it can be adjusted to fit my students current level of performance.

# data[].attributes.body
I've used Solara to help write progress reports and summaries of my students for meetings. It's a bit less useful for finding data lists like the raw scores of all the MAP testing.

I used Solara to ask for strategies for how to communicate with families.

Given my role as a Central office Instructional Coach, I do not use Panorama to access and log student data. When looking at MAP student data I use the MAP website. I do not see any use for this tool in my current role.

I initially wanted to re-level an excerpt of text from “Promises to Keep” from the 5th grade EL curriculum. However, when I copied a part of the text it was unable to complete that task. I then created a vocabulary list using the key words “segregation”.

I used Gemini in Google Classroom to create a vocabulary list. I used the word “segregation” because that is a main topic for the book “Promises to Keep”. The book assumes that students have a lot of background knowledge about segregation and many vocabulary words are used that students need to understand. I can imagine providing students with this vocabulary list below to think about some related words to the topic and simple definitions. I also really like that it included regular examples that students might be able to relate to. I plan unpacking sessions for each unit in the curriculum. I often try to create resources that teachers can pair with the curriculum. This tool would be really helpful to make examples of things that teachers might want to provide to students.

I used Magic AI to craft feedback that will be given to a teacher. I entered my draft notes about the observation into Magic AI. It created clear and specific feedback that I can email to a teacher in advance before we meet. The teacher can review the feedback and be prepared to ask questions. I signed up for Magic AI using google account however I noticed it shows my picture on the Magic AI website that I use on Google account. I wonder if that is safe and I wish it did not use my photo. Using the tool was easy and quick. I often observe teachers multiple times a week and it takes me more time to craft emails that sound professional and clear. This tool will be very helpful.

I have been exploring with Gemini the last few weeks and having difficulty with my prompt engineering. The document Sarah shared with prompt ideas was super helpful in creating a lesson from scratch. I have tried to prompt with everything I need in one submission and found that the resubmissions were a better way to get closer to what I wanted. THEN, when the canvas feature was introduced, it speeded things up even more! My original product is multiple docs now, but I'll attempt to consolidate and upload here.

I included a note saying some of my students struggle to stay focused, so to keep that in mind for the activity. The lesson was pretty good and included an engaging debate. I asked it to adjust for eld 3 students and the tool suggested some great scaffolds, including a video example. When I prompted for suggestions for video example, that was where the answers became more vague and less helpful. I would use this tool to help brainstorm activities and scaffolds.

# data[].attributes.body
I asked it to provide some suggestions for differentiating strategies for the students who would benefit from it:

Here are effective differentiation strategies for supporting struggling students:

Tiered Assignments - Create tasks at different levels of complexity while targeting the same essential concepts.

Scaffolded Learning - Break complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps with support that gradually decreases as students gain proficiency.

Flexible Grouping - Group students strategically based on needs, interests, or abilities for specific activities.

Multiple Means of Representation - Present content in various formats (visual, auditory, hands-on) to accommodate different learning preferences.

Graphic Organizers - Provide visual tools to help students organize information and see relationships between concepts.

Extended Time - Allow additional time for assignments and assessments when appropriate.

Chunking Content - Divide lessons into smaller, more manageable sections.

Pre-teaching Vocabulary - Introduce key terms before a lesson to build background knowledge.

Varied Assessment Options - Offer multiple ways for students to demonstrate understanding (projects, presentations, written work).

Strategic Peer Partnerships - Pair struggling students with supportive peers who can model successful strategies.

Personalized Goal Setting - Help students set achievable short-term goals to build confidence and track progress.

Frequent Check-ins - Implement regular formative assessments to monitor understanding and adjust instruction accordingly.

Technology Supports - Utilize text-to-speech, speech-to-text, or other assistive technologies as appropriate.

Visual Cues and Reminders - Provide reference sheets, checklists, or visual reminders of procedures and concepts.

Strategies for Adapting 3rd Grade Phonics Lesson on Beginning Blends for ELL Newcomers with ADHD

1. Multi-Sensory Phonics Instruction

Incorporate visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile elements when teaching beginning blends. Have students see the blend (visual), hear it pronounced (auditory), trace letters in sand or with finger paint (tactile), and use body movements to represent sounds (kinesthetic).

Why recommended: Multi-sensory approaches help ELL students make connections between sounds and symbols while providing movement opportunities for students with ADHD, increasing engagement and focus.

Resources needed: Letter cards with visual cues, sand trays or finger paint, movement cards, picture cards representing blend sounds.

Modifications: Adjust complexity by starting with fewer blends for struggling students; provide additional visual supports for ELLs; incorporate more movement for students who need additional physical activity.

2. Structured Pair Work with Visual Supports

Create partner activities where students practice beginning blends using picture cards, word matching games, and simple sentence frames. Pair ELL newcomers with supportive peers who can model language use.

Why recommended: Peer interaction provides language models for ELLs while the structured format and visual supports help maintain focus for students with ADHD. The social component increases engagement.

Resources needed: Picture cards with corresponding blend words, sentence frames, task cards with clear visual instructions, timer for activity transitions.

Modifications: Adjust language complexity for different proficiency levels; provide pre-taught vocabulary for ELLs; include movement breaks between activities for students with ADHD.

3. Chunked Instruction with Brain Breaks

Break the phonics lesson into 7-10 minute segments, each with a clear focus and outcome. Insert 1-2 minute movement breaks or quick games between segments that reinforce the phonics concepts.

Why recommended: Shorter instructional segments help maintain attention for students with ADHD while providing multiple opportunities for ELLs to process and practice new language concepts.

Resources needed: Timer, movement break cards, quick phonics games, visual schedule showing lesson segments.

Modifications: Adjust the length of segments based on class engagement; provide preview materials for ELLs; incorporate students' native language cognates where applicable.

4. Visual Phonics Reference Tools

Create personalized blend books or reference cards that students can keep at their desks. Include pictures representing the blend sounds, words containing the blends, and simple sentences using those words with translations in students' home languages when possible.

Why recommended: Visual references provide ongoing support for ELLs and reduce cognitive load for students with ADHD by offering a consistent tool they can reference independently.

Resources needed: Small notebooks or laminated reference cards, pictures, translation resources, colored markers.

Modifications: Add QR codes linking to audio pronunciations; include more or fewer examples based on student needs; incorporate student-drawn illustrations for greater connection.

5. Technology-Enhanced Practice with Immediate Feedback

Incorporate tablet or computer-based phonics activities that provide immediate feedback and gamified practice with beginning blends. Use programs that include visual supports and can be adjusted for different proficiency levels.

Why recommended: Digital tools can provide engaging, self-paced practice with immediate feedback, which benefits students with ADHD. Many programs also offer visual supports and repetition beneficial for ELLs.

Resources needed: Tablets or computers, headphones, appropriate educational apps or websites focused on phonics, monitoring system.

Modifications: Adjust time limits; provide simplified instructions; pair with a buddy for collaborative digital work; ensure programs have visual supports.

Conclusion: These strategies collectively address the unique needs of 3rd grade ELL newcomers with ADHD by providing structured, engaging, and multi-sensory approaches to learning beginning blends. The combination of visual supports, movement opportunities, peer interaction, chunked instruction, and technology creates multiple pathways for students to access and practice phonics concepts. By implementing these strategies, you'll create a supportive learning environment that accommodates language acquisition needs while addressing attention challenges, ultimately helping all students develop strong phonics foundations.

I asked Gemini to design a lesson for my 6th graders using some of the prompts from Sarah's suggested list, which helped me refine my initial and follow up questions to Gemini. This seems quite useful for lesson generation and I am thinking it may be a good tool for developing Sub plans as well.

Now redesign the lesson using a station rotation model with differentiated instruction to happen at the teacher-led rotation. I want an offline station that is hands-on and involves peer learning, and an online station that includes technology.”

Excellent! Let's redesign the "Hail Hunters!" lesson using a station rotation model with differentiated instruction at the teacher-led station.

Lesson Title: Hail Hunters! Station Rotation

Time: 45 minutes

Materials:

Station 1 (Teacher-Led):

Printed Hail Frequency Maps (differentiated based on student ability)

Weather data printouts (differentiated)

Whiteboard/Markers

Differentiation materials (e.g., simplified maps, additional explanations, challenge questions)

Station 2 (Hands-On, Peer Learning):

Large sheets of paper or poster board

Markers, colored pencils

Pre-cut cloud shapes (cumulonimbus, etc.)

Cotton balls (for hail representation)

Worksheet with scenario based questions.

Station 3 (Technology-Based):

Computers or tablets with internet access

Access to a weather website or interactive simulation showing hail formation (e.g., a NOAA weather site, or educational weather app.)

Worksheet with questions to answer about the website or simulation.

Lesson Breakdown:

(5 minutes) Introduction:

Briefly review hail formation and the importance of understanding hail frequency maps.

Explain the station rotation model and the activities at each station.

Divide students into three groups.

(12 minutes per Station, 36 minutes total):

Station 1: Teacher-Led (Differentiated Instruction):

The teacher works with a small group to interpret hail frequency maps and analyze weather data.

Differentiation:

Lower-level: Provide simplified maps with fewer data points and easier-to-interpret legends. Offer more direct guidance and explanations.

Mid-level: Provide standard maps and data, encouraging students to make connections and draw conclusions.

Higher-level: Provide complex maps and data, challenge them with open-ended questions, and ask them to predict future hail patterns.

Teacher will have students explain their reasoning, and correct any misunderstandings.

Station 2: Hands-On, Peer Learning:

Students work in groups to create a visual representation of a hailstorm.

They draw a thunderstorm cloud, use cotton balls to represent hail, and label the different parts of the storm.

Students answer scenario-based questions in their groups.

Example questions: What would happen if the updraft became weaker? What would happen if the cloud was much colder?

Encourage peer teaching and collaborative problem-solving.

Station 3: Technology-Based:

Students use computers or tablets to explore a weather website or interactive simulation.

They observe hail formation, learn about the conditions that create hail, and answer questions on a worksheet.

Websites or simulations that show the inside of a supercell thunderstorm are ideal.

Example questions: What is a supercell thunderstorm? How does wind speed effect hail size? What is the role of the updraft in hail formation?

(4 minutes) Wrap-up:

Briefly review the key concepts learned at each station.

Address any lingering questions.

Differentiation Strategies:

Content: Vary the complexity of the maps and data at Station 1.

Process: Provide different levels of scaffolding and support at each station.

Product: Allow students to demonstrate their understanding in various ways (e.g., drawings, written explanations, discussions).

Benefits of Station Rotation:

Provides differentiated instruction.

Increases student engagement.

Promotes peer learning.

Integrates technology.

Provides students with hands on learning.

I asked it to suggest academic plans for students below grade level and it gave me some broad suggestions. Following this, I asked for suggestions for a particular students and it gave me lots of suggestions based on the student's score and attendance. lastly, I asked it to suggest intervention for foundational skills based on Dianne's NWEA MAP scores. I really like this tool and know this tool is going to be extremely helpful for me. My school is asking that we create intervention plans for students and this will help me hone down on student need.

I prompted Solara to create 6th grade level succinct text about a topic my students have been struggling with: the difference between continents and tectonic plates

Prompt

Create a succinct explanation on the difference between continents and tectonic plates, at the sixth grade level, no more than 4 sentences. Beneath the text, please define terms such as plate boundary, convergent. boundary, divergent boundary, subduction zone, and hot spot

In addition to this, can you define how the mantle is different from crust?

Output:

Continents are large landmasses like North America or Africa that we can see on maps, while tectonic plates are giant pieces of Earth's crust (including land and seafloor) that float on the semi-liquid mantle below. These plates move very slowly—only a few inches per year—causing continents to drift over millions of years. The boundaries where tectonic plates meet create important features like mountains, volcanoes, and earthquakes.

Key Terms:

Plate boundary: The area where two tectonic plates meet

Convergent boundary: Where two plates push together or collide

Divergent boundary: Where two plates move apart from each other

Subduction zone: Where one plate slides beneath another plate and sinks into the mantle

Hot spot: An area where magma from deep within Earth rises up through the crust, often creating volcanoes

Crust: Earth's thin outer layer (like the skin of an apple) made of solid rock; it's thinner under oceans and thicker under continents

Mantle: The thick layer beneath the crust that makes up about 84% of Earth's volume; it's mostly solid but can flow slowly like very thick pudding because of high heat and pressure

I used the assignment scaffolder to generate a scaffold on solving inequalities for 7th grade math. I liked how this gives you a step by step of how to solve inequalities however I would have liked more visuals. I will use the info from this but add in my own visuals. I am a special educator so i am always looking for good scaffolds across subject areas to support my kiddos.

Solving Inequalities: A Step-by-Step Guide

Objective:

Today, we will learn how to solve inequalities. An inequality shows that one side is greater than or less than the other side.

Vocabulary:

Before we start, here are some important words you will need to know:

Inequality: A mathematical statement that shows the relationship between two expressions that are not equal. It uses symbols like (<), (>), (\leq), or (\geq).

Solution: The value or values that make the inequality true.

Variable: A letter that represents an unknown number (like (x) or (y)).

Steps to Solve Inequalities:

Step 1: Understand the Inequality

Read the inequality carefully. For example, (x + 3 > 7).

Identify the variable (here, it's (x)) and the number it's being compared to.

Step 2: Isolate the Variable

To find the value of the variable, you need to get it alone on one side of the inequality.

Example: From (x + 3 > 7), subtract (3) from both sides to isolate (x):

(x + 3 - 3 > 7 - 3)

This simplifies to (x > 4).

Step 3: Write the Solution

The solution tells you what values (x) can be. In our example, (x > 4) means (x) can be any number greater than (4).

You can write the solution as an inequality or on a number line.

Step 4: Check Your Solution

Substitute a number greater than (4) back into the original inequality to check if it works.

Example: If (x = 5), then (5 + 3 > 7) is true because (8 > 7).

Step 5: Practice with More Inequalities

Now, try solving these inequalities on your own:

1. (2x < 10)

2. (x - 5 \geq 3)

3. (3 + x > 8)

Step 6: Review

Go over your answers and make sure you followed each step.

If you have questions, ask your teacher or a classmate for help.

Conclusion:

You have learned how to solve inequalities by breaking the process into manageable steps. Practice these steps until you feel confident. Remember, everyone learns at their own pace, so don't hesitate to seek support when

I teach K2 and we have a lot of hitting and pushing this year. I asked for a behavior support plan for whole group intervention.

Behaviors to support: Hitting and pushing

1. Positive Attention Seeking - Teach the student positive ways to seek attention from adults and peers, such as using words or raising a hand. Reinforce this behavior by providing praise and attention when they use these appropriate strategies. This helps the student understand that they can get the attention they want without resorting to hitting or pushing.

2. Role-Playing Social Skills - Engage the student in role-playing activities where they practice sharing, taking turns, and expressing emotions verbally. This intervention encourages peer interactions and teaches them how to handle conflicts without physical aggression. It helps build their social skills and emotional intelligence, making them more equipped to navigate social situations positively.

3. Sensory Breaks - Implement sensory breaks during the day where the student can engage in calming activities, such as deep breathing, stretching, or using fidget tools. These breaks can help manage their sensory and physiological needs, reducing the likelihood of frustration that may lead to hitting or pushing. By providing structured moments for self-regulation, the student can better control their impulses.

Role-Playing Activities for Kindergarten Students

1. Sharing a Toy

Scenario: Two students want to play with the same toy.

Role-Play: One student can act as the owner of the toy, and the other can ask to play with it. They can practice using phrases like "Can I play with that, please?" and "Let's take turns!"

Goal: Encourage sharing and taking turns to reduce conflict over toys.

2. Asking for Help

Scenario: A student is having trouble with a task and needs assistance.

Role-Play: One student pretends to struggle with a puzzle while another plays the role of a teacher or friend. They practice asking for help, saying, "Can you help me with this?"

Goal: Teach students how to seek help appropriately instead of resorting to frustration or aggression.

3. Playing a Game

Scenario: Students are participating in a simple group game (e.g., Duck, Duck, Goose).

Role-Play: Students can practice the rules of the game, emphasizing how to wait for their turn, cheer for others, and celebrate when someone else wins.

Goal: Encourage collaboration and patience while reinforcing positive interactions during play.

4. Expressing Emotions

Scenario: A student feels upset because a friend didn't include them in a game.

Role-Play: One student acts out feeling sad, while another practices responding with empathy, saying things like, "I understand you feel sad. Do you want to play with us?"

Goal: Help students learn to express their feelings and respond to others' emotions positively.

5. Resolving Conflicts

Scenario: Two students have a disagreement about a game they want to play.

Role-Play: Students can practice discussing their preferences calmly and negotiating a solution, such as agreeing to play one game first and then the other.

Goal: Teach conflict resolution skills and encourage teamwork through dialogue.

These activities not only develop social skills but also reinforce positive behaviors, helping students manage their interactions without resorting to hitting or pushing.

I asked Raina to create a fun ten minute activity to reinforce students' understating of possessive nouns.

Activity Title: "Whose Is It?"

Objective: Help first grade students understand and use possessive nouns in a fun and engaging way.

Materials Needed:

Picture cards of common objects (e.g., a dog, a cat, a ball, a book, etc.)

Sentence strips or a whiteboard

Markers

Activity Steps:

1. Introduction (2 minutes):

Briefly explain what possessive nouns are. For example, "When we want to show that something belongs to someone, we use possessive nouns. We add an apostrophe and 's' to the name of the person or thing."

2. Demonstration (2 minutes):

Show a picture card (e.g., a dog) and say, "This is the dog." Then, write on the board, "This is Sam's dog." Explain that "Sam's" shows that the dog belongs to Sam.

3. Group Activity (4 minutes):

Divide the class into small groups and give each group a set of picture cards.

Ask each group to choose a card and create a sentence using a possessive noun. For instance, if they choose a cat, they might say, "This is Mia's cat."

Encourage students to come up with different names and objects.

4. Sharing (2 minutes):

Have each group share their sentences with the class. You can write some of their sentences on the board to reinforce the concept.

5. Wrap-up:

Reinforce the idea by asking a few students to identify possessive nouns in the sentences shared.

Extension:
You can turn this into a game by having students match picture cards with the correct possessive noun sentences later on!

This activity should help first graders grasp the concept of possessive nouns while keeping them engaged and active!

I used Magic School to create a summary of a Readworks article, to create an exemplar of what a summary/gist can look like

Original Text

Some mountains are made of solid rock, like the Rocky Mountains or the Swiss Alps. But some mountains are actually volcanoes.

Volcanoes are vents, or openings in the earth's crust, that release ash, gases and steam, and hot liquid rock called lava. When the lava cools and hardens, it forms into the cone-shaped mountain we think of as a volcano. Most of the world's volcanoes are found around the edges of tectonic plates, both on land and in the oceans.

On land, volcanoes form when one tectonic plate moves under another. Usually a thin, heavy oceanic plate subducts, or moves under, a thicker continental plate. When this happens, the ocean plate sinks into the mantle.

The Mount Rainier volcano in Washington is considered “dormant.” Volcanoes are classified as active (erupted recently), dormant (expected to erupt in the future), or extinct (not expected to erupt again).

Water trapped in the rocks in this plate gets squeezed out. This causes some of the rocks to melt. The melted rock, or magma, is lighter than the surrounding rock and rises up. This magma collects in magma chambers, but it is still miles below the surface.

When enough magma builds up in the magma chambers, it forces its way up to the surface and erupts, often causing volcanic eruptions.

In the ocean, volcanoes erupt along cracks that are opened in the ocean floor by the spreading of two plates called a mid-ocean ridge. Magma from the earth's upper mantle rises up to fill these cracks. As the lava cools, it forms new crust on the edges of the cracks. These mid-ocean ridges are actually long chains of underwater volcanoes that circle the earth like the seams on a baseball.

About 80 to 90 percent of all volcanic eruptions occur where the plates spread apart.

Prompt

1 paragraph, main idea plus 3 key details, 4 sentences

Output

Mountains can be composed of solid rock, like the Rocky Mountains and the Swiss Alps, or they can be volcanoes, which are openings in the earth's crust that release ash, gases, and lava. Volcanoes typically form when one tectonic plate subducts under another, causing trapped water to squeeze out and melt rocks into magma, which rises and collects in magma chambers until it erupts. Most volcanoes are found along tectonic plate edges, both on land and in the ocean, with 80 to 90 percent of eruptions occurring at mid-ocean ridges where plates spread apart. These underwater volcanoes create new crust as the lava cools, forming extensive chains that circle the Earth.

I had Magic School create a behavior intervention plan for a student. I liked the detailed list of supports and the plan that was suggested. After the plan was generated it suggested I add : how can we involve the parents in this plan?

Behavior Intervention Plan

Behavior Description:
The student exhibits crying, hitting, and screaming when given demands or requests in the classroom. While the student demonstrates strong receptive language skills and an understanding of classroom routines, they show a preference for being with the teacher. The behaviors appear to be a means of seeking attention, yet the student often rejects attention when it is offered.

Summary Statement:
The function of the behavior appears to be a combination of seeking attention and avoiding demands. The student may feel overwhelmed by requests and uses these behaviors to communicate their need for comfort and closeness to the teacher.

Interventions Used and Results:

1. Visual Schedules: Implemented visual schedules to help the student anticipate transitions and demands. The student responded positively by showing less resistance to changes in routine.

2. Positive Reinforcement: Used praise and tangible rewards for moments of compliance and appropriate communication of needs. This resulted in a slight decrease in negative behaviors.

3. One-on-One Time: Increased one-on-one time with the teacher during non-demanding activities. The student showed improved emotional regulation during these times.

4. Social Stories: Introduced social stories about following directions and seeking help. The student demonstrated understanding and was able to articulate parts of the story.

Behavioral Goals:

1. The student will independently follow classroom routines with no more than one reminder per activity for 4 out of 5 opportunities.

2. The student will use appropriate communication (verbal or non-verbal) to express feelings or needs in 4 out of 5 instances instead of resorting to crying, hitting, or screaming.

Plan for Teaching and Supporting the New Behavior:

Modeling Appropriate Behavior: The teacher will model appropriate ways to seek attention or express discomfort (e.g., using words or gestures).

Role-Playing: Engage the student in role-playing scenarios where they can practice asking for help or expressing feelings.

Crisis Intervention Plan: If the student becomes escalated (crying, hitting, screaming), the teacher will calmly remove the student from the situation, provide a safe space, and use calming strategies (deep breathing, sensory tools) until the student is ready to re-engage.

Description of Success:

Criteria: The student will demonstrate decreased instances of crying, hitting, and screaming during demands, achieving the behavioral goals outlined above.

Consequences: Positive behavior will be reinforced with verbal praise, stickers, or extra one-on-one time with the teacher. Negative behaviors will be addressed by redirecting the student to appropriate communication methods and providing a break as necessary.

Fidelity of the Plan Measurement:

The teacher will maintain a daily behavior log to track the frequency of target behaviors and instances of compliance. Weekly check-ins with a support team will evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and discuss necessary adjustments.

Follow-Up Activities:

Monthly review meetings with the support team to assess progress and modify strategies as needed.

Continued reinforcement of positive behaviors through classroom-wide initiatives promoting social skills and emotional regulation.

However, I also liked that you can continue to add on - can you provide more? Can you suggest further? That way it kept building and expanding. 10/10 will be using this tomorrow!

Sure! Here are several examples of positive attention-seeking behaviors that can be taught to students:

1. Raising a Hand - Encouraging students to raise their hand when they want to speak or share something, rather than calling out.

2. Using a "Help" Signal - Establishing a specific gesture or signal (like a thumbs up or waving) that the student can use to indicate they need assistance.

3. Waiting for a Turn - Teaching the student to wait patiently for their turn during group activities or discussions, reinforcing the importance of sharing the floor with peers.

4. Using "Excuse Me" - Encouraging the student to say "excuse me" to get an adult's attention instead of interrupting or being disruptive.

5. Making Eye Contact - Teaching the student to make eye contact with the teacher or peers when they want to engage in conversation, promoting respectful communication.

6. Using Positive Language - Encouraging the student to use phrases like "Can I share something?" or "I have a question!" to express their desires in a polite manner.

7. Participating in Group Activities - Promoting involvement in group tasks or projects where they can contribute and gain attention through teamwork and collaboration.

8. Complimenting Peers - Encouraging the student to give compliments or positive feedback to classmates, which can also help them receive positive interactions in return.

By focusing on these positive attention-seeking behaviors, students can learn to engage appropriately and effectively with their peers and adults, reducing the likelihood of negative behaviors.

Ruby Bridges: A Brave First Grader

One morning in 1960, a little girl named Ruby Bridges got ready for school. She was just six years old, the same age as many of you! Ruby was going to a new school called William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans.

Ruby was a very special student. She was the first Black student to go to this all-white school. Before this, Black students and white students had to go to different schools. This wasn't fair at all.

Ruby was very brave. Every day, she walked to school with grown-ups who kept her safe. Some people were not nice to Ruby, but she kept her head high and smiled. She went to class all by herself because other parents took their children out of school.

Ruby's teacher, Mrs. Henry, was very kind to her. They worked together every day, reading books and doing math. Ruby never missed a day of school, even when things were hard.

Ruby showed everyone that all children deserve to go to school together. She helped make schools better for everyone. Today, students of all colors can learn together because of brave people like Ruby Bridges.

Ruby grew up to be a kind woman who still tells her story to children. She wants everyone to know that being brave and doing what's right can change the world.

Fun Facts About Ruby:

Ruby is still alive today

She wrote books about her life

She was only 66 years old when she made history

She lives in New Orleans where she went to school

The President gave her a special award for being brave

Remember: Ruby Bridges showed us that even a first grader can be a hero and make the world better for everyone!
