Teacher reads them privately. Some are not shared. Some can drive a class discussion about how to handle a situation like theirs.

Students write a note to a classmate noticing a positive action. Notes are given to the student.

After training for 4-6 weeks, students are tested and try to beat their personal record or get on the board. I want to do this in PE this year to create another motivational aspect for our PRIDE expectations. Of course, the training and tests would be adapted to elementary age and appropriate levels.]]> 2021-09-29 19:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer_deering/hzssjlgzckmxz32z/wish/1779153302
