I am doing an (every) Tuesday landfall session where a student and I sit at a table within earshot of other students. Students are allowed to ask me or talk about anything they want. I direct the conversation to things they are passionate about and interesting things about them that stimulate conversation. This allows student expression, refinement of beliefs, and articulation in speech so they will be able to have productive/positive/passionate discussions with others without the need for defensive or divisive speech.

Changes in climate can affect food production, water availability, wildlife and human health. Weather conditions, such as storms, can damage infrastructure like roads, rail networks and buildings. Its important to know whats happening to our environment, so we can understand how we can effect it and how it effects us. So far we pretty much haven't been treating it well. Which stinks.
The evidence for rapid climate change is compelling:
Global Temperature Rise

Warming Oceans

Shrinking Ice Sheets

Glacial Retreat

Decreased Snow Cover

Extreme Events

Ocean Acidification

Have a teacher ask a different, trustworthy, student to plan a lesson that they feel their landfall homeroom specifically would benefit from, or a subject they are passionate about. This would grow student leadership, as well as communication skills that could carry over to their whole lifetime.

Everyday we meet, we will share something happy that happened the day before or that day OR we will share something crappy that happened the day before or that day. This allows for people to receive recognition for good things and allows for venting appropriately for things that are maybe not so good and to get the support they need for their horrible, terrible, very no good, bad day. :-)

We're lucky to have this time built into the school day to help us catch up with work, receive extra help, to take a moment to reflect on our day, as other school districts do not get this time.

Allow upperclassmen and freshmen to apply to be in a landfall and have a freshman paired with an upperclassman for help/tutoring or other general advice. Builds relationship and character on a more personal level.

Students have a time to "breath" and relax a little before they have to get on with their stressful and busy day. Catching up on work, tutoring, counseling and the ability to study for an upcoming test allows for less student stress and better overall health.

Students feel they need some down time from the hustle of school and classwork. Most are taking advantage of doing a little bit of homework or even just taking a breather.

Board games and card games are a great way for the students who are all caught up on work to be able to socialize, laugh, make new friends but also strategize with some games.
