The classroom in the picture is a great setup for small group stations, in which students can move to a new station every so many minutes for a new activity.]]> 2022-04-11 21:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2139857108 hannilee01 https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2139922471 This article lays out the basics of creating a  classroom environment where students feel safe and are eager to learn.]]> 2022-04-11 22:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2139922471 hannilee01 https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2141825512 This page offers four ways to build a safe learning environment for students: 
1. It's about students
2. Work on yourself as an educator
3. Celebrate achievements
4. Build a judgment-free zone

I would  have a point system to work towards getting things for their pets because it seems like it could get expensive. So, if a child gets 10 points, they could get a new "habitat" for their desk pet.]]> 2022-04-14 23:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2144430467 hannilee01 https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2149236147 This scholarly article describes a variety of well-known behavior management theories. One that I thought would be especially beneficial is Glassner's choice theory, which allows students to have more choice in their learning. This decreases behavioral disturbances and increases student engagement.]]> 2022-04-19 20:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2149236147 hannilee01 https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2151192617 There are some really cute ones here, but my top five are:

This facilitates inclusivity as well as a respectful community. The morning meeting is a good time to do this so that the teacher can review what is kind and what is inappropriate for students to say to each other.]]> 2022-04-24 23:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2155617025 hannilee01 https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2157489230 This PDF is a great resource for a variety of verbal de-escalation techniques for all students, but one that I feel is especially important for primary grades is making sure they feel heard. Students at this age are often overlooked as being too young to have mature ideas that benefit a conversation, which results with them feeling unimportant and invalidated. Doing something like repeating a child's phrase back to them is a simple way to make sure they feel heard.]]> 2022-04-25 23:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2157489230 hannilee01 https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2160508549 My most important takeaways from this video:
1) Be mindful of your approach (self-control on the teacher's part, clear of excess emotion)
2) Have a consequence ladder for behavior (consistent levels of consequences; kicking a student out should be a last resort)
3) Address the student in private
4) Reach out to someone in the school community who has had positive experiences with this student
5) Do not make assumptions about that student (every student has a blank slate)]]> 2022-04-27 14:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2160508549 hannilee01 https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2160558430 Some tips from this podcast for primary students:
- Change up the physical setup of your classroom every week or two.
- Have a place for students to put their work on the wall when they are proud of something they completed.
- Find patterns of when classroom management becomes more difficult (transitioning to science, first thing in the morning, etc)
- Create scenarios for students to answer ("'I dropped my pencil!' Is this a teacher problem or a student problem?") to alleviate their dependence on you.]]> 2022-04-27 15:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hannilee01/kv8px6st9nk206sz/wish/2160558430
