Hot Chip Lunch Reward For Homework

In Week 5 of this term, after seeing the very low number of students who were attempting homework each week, I offered the reward of a hot chip lunch for those that show a consistent effort with their homework for the remainder of the term.  Tomorrow I will be delivering a carton of chips each for the following students...

Reflecting On Week 10 - Homework

Well Room 2 we have come to the end of a very new and busy term and what a term it has been.  I am so incredibly proud of how far we have all come in the past 10 weeks both in learning and behaviour.

Using your 'Listening with Understanding and Empathy' habit of the mind tell about something you have learned to do more of or think more about in regards to getting along and working beside your fellow classmates this term.

Reflecting On Our Week 7

Thinking about Managing Impulsivity

This means thinking before you speak or act.  Reflect back on the week and consider a time when you thought through what you were about to do, thought about the consequences and how it would impact on others.  This may be inside or outside of the classroom.  

Comment below what this time was and explain how you managed your impulsivity.  

A perfect example is Chevy managing the impulse to swing on the door frame, he knows it is disrespecting school property and so now stops and thinks before he does it and then steps away, sometimes it is difficult for him but it's getting less desirable to do now.
