Wait until you see what we've been up to...

Today the students and I started our day with some fun "Would You Rather?" questions. This is a fun way to get students moving, talking to different students, and getting to know one another. For example, "Would you rather be a werewolf or a vampire?" or "Would you rather have an elephant's trunk or a giraffe's neck?" It was interesting to see what students chose! 

We began reviewing/learning the 7 Habits today. Today the students and I discussed Habit 1: Be Proactive. The students and I watched a short video that demonstrated what it means to be proactive. We also brainstormed our own ideas about what it means to be proactive. Students shared that being proactive is:

- being positive
- making your own decisions
- doing the right thing, even when no one is watching
- controlling your own feelings, actions (choose your own weather)

Then we discussed the difference between being proactive and being reactive before writing our own proactive statement that we can use to help us to set and meet goals for this school year. I will post our statements at a later date; we are going to be posting them along with a picture outside our classroom when everyone is done. 

Want to know more about Habit 1? Watch the following story at home and see if you can figure out how this story demonstrates being proactive:
​


The students and I also created our classroom management positions today. The students helped me to brainstorm what jobs we thought needed to be done to help our  classroom be the best it can be. We narrowed our list down to: Pencils, Custodians, Fidget, Chairs/Desks, Whiteboards, Leader, Student on Call, Technology, Bob, Agenda, Police Chief, Boot Room, Hallway, and Supplies. Tomorrow will be our first day assigning students a role. I am excited to see how it goes! 

The PEAK students had their first PEAK class today. The other students and I continued with an Art lesson on Wassily Kandinsky. We used what we learned to create our own learner profile inspired concentric circles. Students choice their favourite subject as the colour of the first circle, the way they learn best, etc. It is interesting to see how different every student's circle looks, but as you look closely, you can start to see what things students have in common. See the full lessons below:
