This book is a great resource on how to build a Restorative Approach in a school. Hopkins promotes the idea that young people can be taught proactively to be able to see things from another's point of view, by consider the others' feeling. This will have students engage in problem solving thinking and find solutions through collaboration. The book is broken up into three different parts. Part one: "Restorative Approaches" which outlines principal ideas and the five themes behind the Restorative Approach. Part two: "Making, Maintaining and Repairing Relationships" which is the main chunk of the book. This describes how to introduce and embed different restorative approaches in school. Part three: "The Restorative Staffroom" which explores how to promote restorative relationships between staff. Throughout this book there are copies of different resources to help support teachers, including lesson ideas and sets of cards.

I really love this behavior acronym for the classroom. It enjoy that is is questions. It makes the student really think and break down what they are about to say. By implementing this into my classroom I think this will lessen some of the mean behaviors that may occur.

1. Using callbacks with your students. Teacher would say loudly to the class "Hocus Pocus" and the students would respond back "Everybody Focus!"
2. Many teachers have found it very beneficial and effective to implement a doorbell into the classroom. You are able to get the students attention and not have to yell over them.
3. Using a whistle is also very effective but you must take in consideration the other classroom near you.
4. Setting a timer is always a great resource. This strategy allows you to use other sounds rather than your own voice to get the students attention. It is best to use this attention grabber when you assign group or partner work.
5. Clapping and snapping is always a great strategy to get the students attention. I personally cannot snap very loudly but I could begin with clapping and then switch to snapping which would require the students to get quieter.

This article discussed how teachers can create identity safety for their students in the classroom by taking a holistic approach which will create a sense of belonging for
each of the students. This approach promotes understanding and empathy while encouraging cooperation instead of competition in the classroom. I really enjoyed how the article also spoke about eliminating the stereotypes and identity threats in the classroom. One of the main components of this article was having a child-centered teaching. This is key because it puts the student in the center of classroom and helps each one of them learn self-efficacy and communication skills.

At the beginning of the year the students will make the classroom rules. Students will put their fingerprint on the below to show they all agree with the rules and procedures of the classroom in which they created. This is a great way for the students to get to know one another and work together. As the teacher I  will help guide them and act as the facilitator.

I would for my students to be in a fun and loving environment. I will decorate my classroom very similar as the image shown above. I enjoy how there are very vivid and bright colors all throughout the classroom. For seating, I would like for my students be in groups at tables or desks. This will allow students to work collaboratively together and promote great social interactions.

Students will all have a B.E.E (Bring Everything Everyday) take home folder.  This will help teachers, students, and parents stay organized! The BEE Folders will help provide a safe spot for students to keep their homework, lunch money, behavior charts and many more. They will go home with the students every afternoon and come back to school every morning.  Once the students empty their backpacks in the morning, I will have a specific bin in which they will place  their BEE Folders in. Once they place them and they are not allowed to take anything out unless myself or assistant gets it for them.

I love the idea of having an affirmation station in the classroom. This is a great source of positivity to incorporate into the classroom. It will encourage self esteem and give the students a daily dose of happiness and positive vibes. Other teachers and school administrators will benefit from this too!

I will have a designated area in the classroom set up just like the image. By having the students sit in groups they will be given a group number. When it comes to turn in assignments we will have a different student from each group be the designated person to collect the papers and put them in the corresponding bin. Next to the bins, I will have different drawers labelled for each subject. This will make it easy for me to go through and gather all papers from the bin and put them in the correct subject area drawer.
