Class activities for Wednesday, September 3
We continued with more “setting the table” for the rest of the school year. Here are some highlights:
- We got new seats.
- We elected team captains and reviewed class jobs.
- We reviewed school expectations for behavior on the bus, in the office, in the hallways, and at recess.
- Students took the Mr. Howd test, and most failed (again!)
- We talked about crashing and learning. It’s okay to crash and make a mistake if you learn from them and fix it for next time. Crashes help people learn and get better. It’s not okay to crash the same way over and over, that’s a bad habit, but crashing and learning is how you get better. See the video below about this.
- We talked about how our mouths speak what overflows from our hearts. There are some things that shouldn’t come out of our mouths, so that means there are some things we should keep thinking about over and over. Here’s a short list we came up with:
- Rumors
- Gossip
- Boyfriend/girlfriend/romatic love talk
- Bullying
- Making fun of differences
- Taking joy in the mistakes of others
