I have had to adjust the schedule of working on the "All Hands In" Project for the remaining of the observations. I modeled and assisted the students as they became familiar with the objective and the practice. This week, the students will begin to work on their "hands" during their "down time" upon completion of activities. I want to see how the students respond to the tasks of making note of their "good deeds," observe who is taking this project seriously, and who is exhibiting a difference in their behavior.

All Hands In Project: Week 2
I am able to witness the students reflecting on the nice things they do in the classroom. They are becoming more considerate of the other students. The first two weeks, we concentrated on the students and how they have helped a classmate. This upcoming week, we will discuss and apply how to help out at school. For example, I picked up the playground; I helped in the lunchroom; I asked the custodian if he needed any help; I helped the Technology Coordinator in the computer lab.

As a sixth grade teacher, I think this is a great idea for that age level. I am eager to see how your students respond and the difference it makes in your classroom and school.
ReplyDeleteWe hear and read so much about building self-esteem. I believe helping others is one of the best ways to build self-esteem, because it bring out the best in the person doing the helping. The person receiving the help feels someone cares. Students hear so much about looking out for number one. This is a much needed project! I look forward to hearing more.
