We're hoping to pose various challenges to homerooms this year to encourage opportunities for students to get to know one another in ways outside of the typical classroom experience. The first challenge to our homerooms will be to list their varied strengths to be displayed either inside or outside the homeroom. Too often students focus solely on their short-comings so taking a few minutes at the start of the school year to think independently about their strengths and then perhaps sharing them collectively can be get them off to a great start.
Additionally, Rachel's Challenge provides us with activities to do with students during the first five minutes of the day to encourage students to think and act with kindness. They follow a Monday-Friday format with a different type of activity for each day. We'll be sharing these ideas with you weekly. They are optional for you to use with your advisory homeroom. Since we do not have homeroom on Wednesdays, you do not have to follow the order and can pick and choose from these ideas.
You can find our activities in Google Drive: BEHS-Shared/Five Minutes located here: https://docs.google.com/a/bristolk12.org/document/d/1EO_zlnb_K_oq3Vs_J0IF0htgsD4AZ1B367vfDbyzO48/edit?usp=sharing
