I took a Responsive Classroom workshop a few years ago, and I use so many components of this wonderful program.
At the beginning of the year we talk about things we are good at and things we need help with. These can be subject areas (Math), organizational areas (bringing in homework on time) or social areas (raising hands before talking). Then each student writes his/her hope and dream for this school year on a star.
To share our hopes and dreams with each other we had a loud and crazy celebration this afternoon. I am sure everyone in the town of Hill City wondered what was going on.
Now early next week we will sit down together and talk about what rules are necessary so that every single person in our class can meet his/her hope and dream.
