By posting them on the board, students will hold themselves more accountable and other students will support them in meeting their goals. ]]> 2017-02-20 01:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154843399 marijoh https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154843909 Having a successful morning meeting is an important part of starting the day out on a positive note! That is why I liked this link because it discussed many aspects of the morning meeting and gave suggestions for activities and planning.

It is important to convey our rules in multiple ways and allowing students to get the information out of a book will hopefully hit home for them. By turning their focus on kindness, the classroom community will benefit. http://learningwithmrslangley.blogspot.com/2016/04/tattling-troubles-fostering-kindness-in.html]]> 2017-02-20 01:40:44 UTC https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154844486 marijoh https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154845105 Just like I think it is important to begin the day on a positive note, I also think it is important to end the day the same way. The end of the day jar will provide students with an opportunity to share about their day with their peers. I would probably use this as a reward for students at the end of the week. ]]> 2017-02-20 01:47:34 UTC https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154845105 marijoh https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154845970 This would be an interesting way to incorporate writing into a community building activity. This could also be done during a writing center time. There are specific journals for different topics and students can write about different topics. This allows students to relate to each other on many levels. I remember in school, we made different types of books and my teachers made copies and we all got to keep them. I know I still have mine somewhere! ]]> 2017-02-20 01:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154845970 marijoh https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154846386 I absolutely loved this visual of a community. It is a spectacular way to view diversity as an asset and each student is showcased. This way, it is clear that they are one big piece that works together.]]> 2017-02-20 02:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154846386 marijoh https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154846724 This is actually a STEM team building activity. I have actually done the activity highlighted in the article. We took it a step further and moved throughout the building while trying to keep the item balanced. This required and immense amount of communication and collaboration. Some people had to wrap their strings around their hand to make them shorter. Each individual played a vital role in the success! http://stemactivitiesforkids.com/2015/12/10/team-building-for-stem-challenges/#more-502]]> 2017-02-20 02:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154846724 marijoh https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154847255 i adored this cute little jar!

This can be published on the school website or sent home in the newsletter. It could even be posted on the page the teacher uses to communicate with parents (i.e. Class Dojo). It is important to get other people involved in the structure of the classroom. ]]> 2017-02-20 04:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154858388 marijoh https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154858674 This is a tiered activity to get students thinking about what a good friend is, and what qualities they are looking for in a friend. The article called it a "Friend Warm-up" because this activity is based off the principle that this is a "get to know you" activity for students to realize the commonalities between themselves and their peers. https://www.bloglovin.com/blogs/iteach-third-13897747/back-to-school-friend-wanted-ads-4459005480]]> 2017-02-20 04:35:27 UTC https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154858674 marijoh https://padlet.com/marijoh/BuildingClassroomCommunity/wish/154858915 I remember doing this same activity when I was in school and everyone loved it! We hung them up in the hallway so that other students could guess as well which helps to build the school community!

This will make communication between students be more effective.

It was always so much fun because you never knew what you were going to get. It was never used in this way though. I think using it as a get to know you activity would be extremely beneficial and fun for students.

You can actually have students "fill" that person's bucket when they doing something kind. This would make it more rewarding for them as well!
