This afternoon was one for the books! As you know a few weeks ago we implemented a strategy through the use of "kindness clouds" to build some intrinsic motivation. Since that first day the kids have had varied reactions to putting up kindness clouds throughout the day. Sometimes they are really excited and are highly motivated to fill up our sky with clouds and others it doesn't matter as much. Today, however, all I have been hearing is "Ms. Jill, we need another kindness cloud!"
So awesome! Not only did the kids tell me when they needed clouds, L asked if he could help me write some of the cool things our friends were doing. With all the positivity flowing in our classroom we took the opportunity to read a book about worrying.
The kids were so engaged! As we read through the book they commented on the characters feelings and how they changed as her worry grew bigger. By the end of the book, J said he had a worry and asked to talk about it. It was so appropriate!
Such a great day and I am so proud of all of these kids 😊
