Class signals, routines, passes, and organizational techniques are just some of the few procedures that you can incorporate into your class to have a strong classroom environment. ]]> 2022-02-24 20:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2065270270 abbysm4 https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2066913870 Having restorative practices within your classroom allow you and your students to develop a better way of thinking, talking, and responding to issues that arise within the classroom.

Instead of telling them what to do you should be involving them in almost everything throughout the classroom. Not only to make them feel involved, but also make the students feel heard and understood. Through this they will learn.]]> 2022-02-28 00:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2068598999 abbysm4 https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2068603386 Having a relationship with your students is one of the many ways to build trust within your classroom. Little conversations such as what did you do this weekend, how is your day, what sports or extracurriculars do, and other simple questions about them and their life outside of school is what builds a good relationship between teacher and student. By doing things as simple as this, it allows the student(s) to realize that you care and care about more than just school.]]> 2022-02-28 00:51:10 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2068603386 abbysm4 https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2068605892 Education is something that everyone should have access to. It not only teaches you so much but it is the most amazing way to communicate, learn, discovery, and create peace. The communication that we use and learn in school is what sets us up for the beautiful world that we have ahead of us. Peace is education.]]> 2022-02-28 00:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2068605892 abbysm4 https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122636457 This video focused on what it takes to create learners who are independent, responsible, and able to express themselves. I think that most lessons, as stated in the video, should be focused around the student rather than the teacher. By allowing students to work with each other and build upon one another's ideas, there is so much more than is learned. By showing off your students' work, whether that is by verbally recognizing it or hanging it up around the room, it allows the classroom as a whole to be more student centered.]]> 2022-03-31 02:06:25 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122636457 abbysm4 https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122639202 Building relationships with your students is one of the many important things to accomplish within your classroom. This article touched on 6 easy ways that you could do so! Spending 1-on-1 time, make comments on something that they are doing or have done, be interested in their interests, share stories that you have, have some humor, and attend their events. ]]> 2022-03-31 02:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122639202 abbysm4 https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122646510 Setting up a Peace Corner is something so easy and enjoyable for your students, no matter what age. It is a space where they can go to maybe when they are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or even just needing a little break. It could be filled with puzzles, stress balls, fun toys, or little things that you agree on as a class that would help them calm down!]]> 2022-03-31 02:13:06 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122646510 abbysm4 https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122655585 Changing the word rules to the word habit is such a simple thing but has such a big impact. When I think of rules I think of something harsh, something that has to be followed and is very serious. When I think of the word habit I think of ways that I can better myself and even possibly my peers. Habits are things that can be worked on/towards and make you a better person. These 7 Habits that I have found not only focus on who you should be and what you should be practicing, but they also relate back to your peers and classroom as a whole, which I love!]]> 2022-03-31 02:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122655585 abbysm4 https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122658434 I think that having a classroom schedule is one thing that is somewhat similar to a rule and that should be encouraged. Having a schedule that you students, over time, get used to is crucial for the way that they are going to behave in your classroom and how prepared they are for the day they have ahead of them. Having a class schedule also makes it so much easier for the students to transition between activities and prepares them for scheduling in the future.]]> 2022-03-31 02:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122658434 abbysm4 https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122670467 At my elementary school, we had something called the Peace Path. It was a way for anyone to have a conversation with someone who they may have gotten into an argument/disagreement with and literally step by step go over how each person was feeling. In my class each month we had a Peace Officer who would be there to kind of supervise and add in an outsider's opinion if needed. Each step had different phrases on them for you to start out how you were feeling and for the other person to listen, you would then switch roles so that way each person was being heard. Some of the steps say "I feel ____ when..." "I know you feel ___ when..." "What can I do to make it right?" "I need ___". This was a great way for students to have some what of a prompt on how to nicely communicate their feelings and it was something that wasn't as serious as getting the teacher involved!]]> 2022-03-31 02:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122670467 abbysm4 https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122675387 This site has 9 different conflict resolution activities/games that are easy to incorporate into the classroom! The activity that I thought would be the most beneficial was the Feelings Check In. It's a perfect way for students to express how they are feeling by writing one word down on an index card and then sharing with the class. From there any emotions that needed to be addressed would be in front of the whole class and it is a perfect way for every student to learn, no matter if they were involved or not. ]]> 2022-03-31 02:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/abbysm4/92b770sruidumd8t/wish/2122675387
