Well it is good to see that every classroom and teachers experiences many crazy, unpredictable times. We had severe water damage to our classroom (A trailer) and we found out that we had to move our entire classroom this month. This move helped me reinforce community and perseverance both. My students also saw me cry for the first time, which opened the doors to discuss Friendship.
We had a great month learning about friendship. We got into groups with new people and discussed what friendship is and how we show it. Each group of students made a poster to show friendship. Then each student made a friendship rainbow- writing what they think are the qualities of a good friend. 
We also decided to tie in Random acts of Kindness month. We picked different random acts of kindness that we could do at school each week. We declared Fridays to be Friendship Friday and we did a challenge each Friday to meet a new friend. We wrote random praise notes to staff members, and gave compliments to strangers. We also encourage our school to participate in Pink Shirt day with us!
For our final project we are creating Friendship commercials… Like Kid Presidents you tube video on making friends! We will be finished with them this week!
We are moved into our new classroom and we are ready to take on Leadership next month!
