Starting our day with positive affirmations

# data[].attributes.body
Dismal procedures. We made some slight adjustments and it has made all the difference.

In the morning my students all have their own 6 move handshake. Each morning they line up and we do our special handshake together. We talk a lot about being a team so this helps to have something special between us.

I have made a couple of solid connections with parents! I have made contact with all, but specifically have a few strong, positive ones :)

# data[].attributes.body
Our transitions are smooth using songs and we use slides with explicit directions. This allows us to have time more time to have celebration shareouts

Intentionally building classroom culture each morning as students arrive

1.Using a math points system for student behaviors they earn as a whole class. We have dance parties and riddles as we earn points.

2. Giving lots of stamps during instruction and having student stampers during independent work time (stamper gets 2 and gives 1)

3. Dismissal- planner check, pack up then earning a fun video to watch quietly at their seats

# data[].attributes.body
Flooding students with positivity and stamps motivate them to continue to meet the expectations that I set during independent work time.

Using more visuals and timers to help students transition throughout the day.

Reviewing classroom expectations before each independent activity

# data[].attributes.body
1. Ask 3 before me for independence.

2. Morning greetings and welcoming to classroom.

3. Personal experiences share out.

4. Instagram posts.

5. Morning message.

One thing we’ve tried as a class this year is creating a large calendar on our white board. At the beginning/end of the day or before the weekend, I ask if there are events students want to add so we can follow up about them and how they went. The kids really enjoy it!

# data[].attributes.body
finding time for students to share personal life events/experiences so the class can feel like a family and a welcoming environment

Changing guided reading rotations and activities has helped voice levels during this time.

I was having such a hard time remembering to take attendance every day last year, so I found this awesome program: pink cat games that allows the kids to check in every morning and it is so much fun and I think I’ve only forgotten to take attendance once!

# data[].attributes.body
My class is VERY motivated by stamps/full stamp cards. In the past this has been a struggle for me to remember to do, so I have been making an effort to make it part of our routine as well as being more aware of how often I am giving stamps to students.

Establishing relationships with students already.

Something I found success with was morning routine unpacking and organizing our papers in folders. I think using visuals and consistant reminders helps. Having student do it themselves so they work on being independent.

I put a shoe organizer on the back of my door to keep all my students/groups of students stamp cards organized and more easily accessible for my speech groups :)

# data[].attributes.body
I am building solid relationship with the few students who tends to be disruptive. They are warming up to the expectations and slowly getting better in the groups.

Established new rewards system to motivate the new group.

Giving students who need a little extra attention some leadership opportunities in the classroom/school.

Flooding students who are following expectations/directions with stamps to motivate and encourage others to follow their lead.

Strong connections and collaboration with parents and students.

I find that my biggest success in the classroom is helping our neurodivergent students feel successful and proud of their artwork.

I think something that I do well in the classroom using visual step by step directions and songs to help them understand what to do with multistep art projects.

# data[].attributes.body
Able to build trust with students right away.

# data[].attributes.body
Changing my visuals to better support my students and giving some friends buddies to check in with during morning routine, transitions and pack up.

# data[].attributes.body
For small group reading, I take a picture of the students with their materials and I put it on the wall by our meeting spot so that they can do a quick self-check before I come to the table.

# data[].attributes.body
Getting to know each of the students and their interests.

Having something for everyone to read, even the most reluctant readers.

# data[].attributes.body
Getting to know student reading likes, as well as abilities when it comes to making activities. Modifying the activities so that all kids can do something, by creating a environment that everyone has different abilities and is good at different things. If they put forth 100% effort that is what we are looking for when it comes to making...everyone will shine in a different area in our Makerspace!

Positivity and transitions

This year we started a new "star student" acknowledgement to celebrate being a "pro" at our routines and expectations.  It ties to our classroom theme, and when students show "mastery" of all routines and expectations (for targeted things I picked out at the beginning of the year)... (see part 2)

I am excited to start using lanyards with teachers photos to help kinders transition smoothly to the LAC and MAC teachers!

Setting high expectations for all students, even though it may look different for each student.

we stop and make a giant celebration (with a student kazoo chorus, a sash, and then all the special things to follow; tied to home with a parent letter coming back to share with the group during our morning meeting).  See part 3

Part 3-It's been a blast and they are so excited to show they are pros.  This will evolve into something else towards the end of the year to keep celebrating keeping up with expectations and just being great humans!
