I really like your classroom celebrations...that's something I need to do more.<br />What was your snowball fight? We do that, too, with marshmallows:)<br />Great bubble bursting game. Your kids are super well behaved. There's no way mine would be that quiet -- ha ha!<br />❀Barbara❀<br /><i><b><a href="http://gradeonederful.com/" rel="nofollow">Grade ONEderful</a></b></i><br /><i><b><a href="http://rubyslippersblogdesigns.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ruby Slippers Blog Designs</a></b></i><br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776494983428336686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999349054172029640.post-19238110653849089952013-01-12T22:42:39.628-05:002013-01-12T22:42:39.628-05:00Sounds like you have a great classroom community! ...Sounds like you have a great classroom community! I love your hug, handshake, high five idea. After you posted about it after Sandy Hook, I started doing it with my kids. They love it. <br /><br />Becky<br /><a href="http://compassionate-teacher.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Compassionate Teacher</a> Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17136283241975411869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999349054172029640.post-8761528573860503652013-01-12T20:13:02.966-05:002013-01-12T20:13:02.966-05:00I love this.

When children feel a part of something, they take responsibility for their learning, their classroom, their friends. It is so much more than 2+2. You are the best. Glad to be a part of your community.<br /><br />Kimberley<br /><a href="http://1stinmaine.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">First in Maine</a>Kimberley Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944774091932084680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999349054172029640.post-46310875568846350932013-01-12T11:22:24.871-05:002013-01-12T11:22:24.871-05:00This is soooo important.

One thing we just started was a Joy Jar. At the end of the day, which used to be crazy with everyone going different directions for dismissal-we take a few minutes and write down the good things that happened in class that day. Thank you for your suggestions!<br /><br /><a href="http://notjustchildsplay.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">NotJustChild'sPlay</a>Miss Trayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994698870486768685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999349054172029640.post-53715223161424720252013-01-12T10:46:56.644-05:002013-01-12T10:46:56.644-05:00Great ideas on building community within our class...Great ideas on building community within our classrooms!
