Positive Post Its

Today in school all students and teachers were greeted with a nice surprise,  inspirational messages on every locker and door.   October is Bully Awareness Month, and our students took that message to heart!  A few students took the time to hand write positive messages on post it notes and hang them on lockers and teachers’ doors around the school.

This morning when students went to their lockers, they were left wondering who did this wonderful deed.  Many students commented on how this little act left them with a warm feeling in their heart.

Some of our wonderful students made a huge impact today.  What can you do?

It feels like I have not blogged in a long time.  So now I am back with so much to share about the start to a new year.

We started off the new year with building our classroom community and getting to know each other.  In order for students to introduce themselves in a different way, they completed two different task.

The first is one of my favorites- The Six Word Memoir- students needed to describe themselves in six words.  This task was all about the power of words- or like what I like to call “Word Consciousness”.

The second task introduced students to Animoto- a web based video creation program.  In order to get students acquainted with the program, students created videos about themselves.  Some examples follow-

I look forward to sharing so much more about our learning community!
Once again we have begun to Make Waves in Sixth Grade!
