I ignore the students who are saying things for attention. However, I have seen this statement work "If your artwork isn't turning out how you want it to, ask for help. Otherwise, keep the negative comments to yourself because they are not helping us." That has always shut down negative talk in my class. https://padlet.com/gracebogosian/c31jldxewndzzeu1/wish/1651516697 2021-07-15 19:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gracebogosian/c31jldxewndzzeu1/wish/1651516697 Pedagogy of Play Project! gracebogosian https://padlet.com/gracebogosian/c31jldxewndzzeu1/wish/1651516724 Here is a newer project from Project Zero all about the power of play in the classroom!

There are free resources as well as training SEAL - Social Emotional Artistic Learning. There is also a Youtube page a FB group. One of the suggestions from this group is taking one day a week to make art - some unstructured and some with a purpose. Students could make artist trading cards to share with other classmates. We made cards about our school's character trait lessons and traded them with others. https://padlet.com/gracebogosian/c31jldxewndzzeu1/wish/1651518053 Debra T.

Maybe you could stop a negative behavior or reinforce positive emotions, ideas and affections. Also works as building relationships with studets.

They are also wonderful for revisiting our thoughts throughout the year - Asking students to reflect on their own thinking. ]]> 2021-07-15 19:10:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gracebogosian/c31jldxewndzzeu1/wish/1651520685 I was thinking of using Brain dances after lunch to get them ready for the afternoon. brthoman https://padlet.com/gracebogosian/c31jldxewndzzeu1/wish/1651520696 2021-07-15 19:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gracebogosian/c31jldxewndzzeu1/wish/1651520696 KENNA! I had the same idea yesterday! I even titled it a Mindful Minute! Transitions in and out of the Art Studio for my students are always such a struggle, especially in the beginning of the year! So i want to do a Mindful Minute at the beginning and end of Art. I downloaded an app called Kids Breath and it has a purple star with a face on the icon and it's loaded with short breathing exercises and mindful activities to get kids calm before their teacher arrives. -Ashley https://padlet.com/gracebogosian/c31jldxewndzzeu1/wish/1651520893 2021-07-15 19:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gracebogosian/c31jldxewndzzeu1/wish/1651520893 Brain Dance https://padlet.com/gracebogosian/c31jldxewndzzeu1/wish/1651520949 Physical activity has been linked to firing up the brain in some very astounding ways.
