I a greay with you the teacher give her student feadback and do some corractions in a positive ton .She is calm always with her student.

In the lesson for the day the teacher is teaching about families, starting with family action.  She has the students act out the actions by standing up and the first action was sleeping.  All the kids laid down to mimic sleep.  They continued to act out the actions of their own families.  It was great to see them actually acting it out rather than just talking it through.

She then moved to an exercise where the students needed to compare their family to an animal.  My favorite part of what she did was when one kid said he wasn sure, she put him at ease by saying don't worry if you are not sure just say so.  I think that gains enormous trust with the whole class.

 

Another great tool she used was when they were making a project to define their families, the teacher had the students use colors, symbols and pictures.  I think this is a great way for kids to immerse themselves in the project and adds to their learning.  Also having the kids make flags for their families sparked their creative side.

 Teacher has chunked the lesson over days. She gives prefer seating to students who need guidance. Students are given instructions in a circle. Teacher gives examples. She tells students they can use symbols pictures and colors to represent or connect to their family. Students are listening, speaking and recalling or building upon prior experience or knowledge. Students are recognizing flags and what they represent and why. Students will use their imagination to create a flag that represents their family heritage.

Hello! My name is Julie Held and I am the 6th Grade school counselor at North Pole Middle School. We currently have about 157 6th graders enrolled with approximately 130 attending in person, about 15 doing remote learning and the rest doing elearning. 

I chose Early Elementary Social Studies video for 2 reasons. One, most of my academic career has been in the elementary school as a special education teacher, teaching resource room and children with behavior difficulties and as a regular education teacher. I enjoy gathering new techniques that can be shared with other teachers. The second reason I chose this video is because it is talking about families, which I find very interesting given the fact that I am also a counselor. I often look at teaching strategies, and classroom management strategies. I really enjoyed the fact she gave out more than 5 positive complements to every correction! Wven when the children were getting restless, she was able to consistently give positive feedback and was able to do corrections in a very positive tone, continue on with her message, and while being filmed with what appeared to be several people in the room!

Adriana Manhasset: In part two: Conducting a Morning Meeting: Once students have decided who will be acting about how they're feeling when, for example, by invading his/her personal space, the teacher has students work together to brainstorm their most important guidelines for a successful classroom environment. This is a very good strategy, "role playing" to help develop a strong classroom community for an effective classroom management strategy.
