Scholastic Teaching Tools | Resources for Teachers
Creating a Culture of Kindness in Your Classroom. The best way to promote kindness and caring behaviors in our classrooms is to model them. When we show our students what it LOOKS like and SOUNDS like to be kind, there is a far greater chance they will repeat those modeled behaviors. It is so important to remember that children watch their teachers all the time and listen to everything they say (especially when it’s not in a lecture).

Classroom Community Building
I want to have an open relationships with my students and I want them to feel safe discussing any topics, including the more difficult ones like race, culture, religion, etc. I think this saying hanging in the class will foster that idea and is a good way to show your students you are a person always willing to learn and be there for them. This is part of creating a prosocial environment, as our text described in Chapter 4.

Artwork by Rebekah625
The students created a soft watercolor wash for the background on a separate paper. Photos were taken and then changed using the "stamp" effects button. The photos were copied onto transparency film. The students used the I AM format to create an original and self reflective poem. Both the poem and portrait were printed onto the film. The film was mounted on top of the painting. The results are nothing short of AMAZING!
