Friday Housekeeping

24/1/2020

 
Picture
​The struggle is real. Some of us have been having a difficult time settling back in after the long break. It seems one fire will be put out only for another one to immediately pop up to take its place- unkind words, unkind hands, tattling, silliness, very loud outside voices, constant interrupting, difficulty sharing, running inside our classroom and in the halls- in short, not being respectful nor responsible or safe. All things that sometimes pop up closer to April when we are getting tired of each other but not often this early. In an effort to pull Team Awesome together and make them feel like a team again we began to play the You/ Me game this week. They earn points for demonstrating expected behaviours as a group in our classroom and I earn points when they don't. Of course the object of the game is for them to win- when they collect the most points its a win for me as well- but they have to earn it. We will brainstorm and vote on an extra activity they would enjoy when (if?) they win. There are still a few kinks to work out but I am hoping it pulls the children together so they regain their kind feelings and respect towards everyone in our space and enjoy sharing our learning again.
