https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat These are all the ideas that I liked for building classroom community for my future classroom!! en-us 2017-02-19 20:48:14 UTC 2026-03-16 19:32:25 UTC hello@padlet.com bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154823639 This blog really had some cute ideas about different activities the class can do on the whiteboard to build relationships with their peers and make the classroom a community. I would love to use this with 1st or 2nd graders, to have them learn how to be kind to one another and to give my class a positive vibe. ]]> 2017-02-19 20:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154823639 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154823827 I really liked this idea for a We Got This Board. I would use this to help build community because not only would it be teaching them kindness with comments, but having the whole class come together. I would love to have this be a weekly thing. ]]> 2017-02-19 20:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154823827 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154824005 I love this idea! I think that notes from the teacher to students with positive comments would really help build community in the classroom. I would give these out to students when I notice that they are doing something amazing or if they need a pick me up. ]]> 2017-02-19 20:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154824005 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154824316 This blog had some great ideas for whole group activities to do on the first day of school. I would use these activities to get to know my students and see how they think this year should go. I think it's important to get their input, especially with the start of a new year. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154824316 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154824608 This super cute book would be great to use on the first day of class to set up the positive atmosphere for the rest of the year ]]> 2017-02-19 21:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154824608 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154824741 This great multi-cultural book would be good to use for introducing everyone in a new class and teaching respect for everyone's difference. By doing so, you start building relationships with everyone in the class. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154824741 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154824918 This book could be used during a morning meeting if the problem of bullying comes up in the classroom. This would be a more non-threatening way to bring up the subject and talk about it with the class. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154824918 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825039 This activity would be cute to do with any age. You can teach the children about everyone being different but that everyone comes together and the classroom is one big community. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825039 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825150 This blog gives one example for how to lead a morning meeting. I definitely plan on doing morning meetings in my classrooms and I think they are super important because it has the whole class come together as one and let's everyone have a chance to speak and clear their minds. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825150 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825249 I love this idea! I think this would be a great to incorporate the families into the classroom community and to make everyone feel welcome. Everyone wants to know they feel welcome in a classroom]]> 2017-02-19 21:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825249 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825383 I think this idea would work starting in like 2nd grade or older. I believe that if the students were giving compliments to other students that it would really boost their confidence and continue to reinforce the community feel. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825383 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825498 Aside from having morning meetings, I think having this activity at the end of the day will be really beneficial to keep the idea of kindness and community consistent throughout the day. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825498 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825653 I love this idea! Having my extra pencils on my desk have positive comments on them would really make a students day and most importantly let them know that I think they matter!]]> 2017-02-19 21:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154825653 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154826041 I think this would be a good stepping stone for younger students that could lead into a more detailed class pledge. This would teach the children responsibility. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154826041 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154826273 I think this would be a cute morning meeting song for preschool. This would help the children start recognizing each others' names and build community with even the young students. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154826273 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154826435 This teacher had a playlist of music to get everyone settled in in the morning. I really liked this idea because children love music and having something fun in the morning will help keep the positivity going throughout the day. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154826435 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154826572 I really like having music being apart of my classroom.

I think these types of activities really give the students who may not already be a community member in the classroom naturally an incentive to join in and be apart of our team.]]> 2017-02-19 21:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154826973 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154827199 I think this would be a really fun and effective way to teach/remind children how to give a compliment if they do not already know or need a gentle reminder of how to ]]> 2017-02-19 21:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154827199 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154827343 I think that having classroom jobs really teaches the students that everyone has a role to play in the class so that it all runs smoothly. ]]> 2017-02-19 21:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154827343 bdziabu https://padlet.com/bdziabu/p6hjtdu45hat/wish/154827505 I would like to have this as one of my class jobs.
