Collaborative practice in the classroom can facilitate acceptance, cooperation and teamwork. This collaborative activity was created from the rubric of one of my most popular resources and will be offered "free forever" as part of my own collaboration with teacher/authors here on TpT who are committed, as I am, to teach and model tolerance, respect, empathy and compassion for all children in our classrooms and communities. The concept is simple – the results are awesome! Using simple materials such as colored pencils, markers, crayons, paints - each student works independently on his/her “tile.” Once completed, 4 students join their tiles together to form a whole. Simply trim away the excess paper and tape the squares together on the back. Easier still, tape them in place on a large sheet of colored paper. The completed piece is accomplished by turning each square 90 degrees clockwise and measures app.15½ x 15½ inches.

Hey everyone! It's Anna from Hanging with Mrs. Hulsey! The school year is officially in full swing-- and my students are definitely feeling more comfortable with me and each other! One thing I've decided we need to focus on more is our classroom community! Here are some quick ideas to help you promote a positive climate in your classroom! Use Team Builders Team building activities are easy to implement! They don't take a lot of time, students find them to be engaging, and they are often FREE! Here is a quick list of some of my favorite student team building activities: Human Knot (Students stand in circle, reach for hands of people across the way, and then they must untangle themselves without letting go. This can also be done as a spiderweb using a ball of yarn) Tallest Tower (Divide students into groups and give them supplies like straws, tape, blocks, etc. The team that can make the tallest tower wins!) Minefield (Set up a "minefield" that students must navigate a blindfolded partner through) Hula Hoop Pass (Can be played whole class or in teams. Students hold hands and must pass through a hula hoop as quickly as possible) Switch Sides If... (Use a chalk line, rope, or tape line. Have students stand on one side of the line. Read off items like "switch sides if you like to bake", etc.) The internet provides an infinite source of team building activities! I've included a few links below: http://www.ventureteambuilding.co.uk/team-building-activities/ http://www.momjunction.com/articles/team-building-activities-will-keep-kids-busy-summer_0074763/#gref http://mommieshobbies.blogspot.com/2014/01/switch-sides-if.html?m=1 Hold Morning Meetings Time is precious in my classroom because we departmentalize. It feels like we are always on the go. However, I feel that even something as small as a weekly morning meeting would help my students develop a more positive feeling toward one another. You can read more about morning meetings for older elementary students here! I also love this product from TPT! Write Daily White Board Messages I think this is a such a simple way to start the day off with a positive vibe! The night before (or morning of) write a simple prompt on the white board/chalkboard and have students respond on the board. This will foster another sense of ownership and community. You can find white board messages by searching google or Pinterest! Here are some quick ideas to get you started: 1 Thing Wednesday-- name one thing we've done this year that you'd like to do again! I Think I Can Thursday-- what is one goal you want to achieve this year? Flashback Friday-- what is one new thing you have learned this week? Write a compliment for a classmate by their name (no repeats!) Name 3 traits of a great friend What is your favorite book you've read this year? Thankful Thursday-- what is 1 thing you are thankful for? Make it Monday-- what is 1 thing you've always wanted to create?' Top 2 Tuesday-- write your top 2 favorite things about the school year so far Compliment Circles This activity would pair well with morning meetings! You and the students sit in a circle with everyone's legs out straight. Begin the compliment circle by giving a compliment to someone. Once someone has been complimented they cross their legs. Compliments continue until everyone has received 1. I think this is a great way to encourage students to see each other in different ways! Create a Kindness Board I created this one for the visual it would provide to my students. Plus, I wanted them to point out kindness when they see it in others! This one is easy to implement: 1. Print out the letters and hang on a wall or bulletin board. 2. Print the "caught being kind" strips on various colors of paper (I used Astrobright paper). 3. Cut the strips apart and keep on hand for when students catch others being kind. 4. When students experience a kindness or act of friendship, they come and ask you for a "caught being kind" strip. They write down their experience. 5. Start a paper chain and add a new link every time someone catches others being kind! You can find this HERE in my TPT store! Here is another type of board with a similar theme (kindness): You can find these fall themed board HERE in my store! I hope you found these ideas to be useful to implement in your classroom! If you have any questions-- feel free to leave them in the comment section!

Back when I was a new teacher I was looking for great art ideas to start the school year. I was really fortunate to teach at an awesome school (shout out to Denlow P.S. in North York) with some awesome teachers (shout out to Gail, Susan and Pat). I can honestly say these teachers gave me more skills and knowledge in the four years I was with them than I have acquired in the past twenty since leaving that school! Anyhow, one of these great teachers (sorry gals, I don't remember which of you it was) showed me an idea to do with my grade 4/5 class. The teacher gave their students strips of cartridge paper (approx. 10 cm by 10 cm) and asked them to trace school supplies to cover the entire piece of paper. After this students then added line designs to the school supplies and covered all the white space in the background with dots. All these years later, I still have the sample I made my first year of teaching on my bulletin board at school. The kids love to see that Ms.McKay also created her own art project.(It also freaks them out that the sample is over 20 years old!) After I left that school and moved on, I ended up working in a school where the student desks were in really bad shape. I wanted to come up with a way of covering the desks that would look good and involve the students artistic talents. The idea I had "borrowed" in my first year came back to me, but this time I added my own twist. This is how I have the students create personalized "desk mats". The kids love them once I laminate them, and the caretakers love that the desks are protected each year. I love that the students permanently have their "name" on the top of their desks. Step 1: I give each student a large piece of white cartridge paper, and have them draw a 10 cm by 10 cm border around the outside. Step 2: Students then trace a variety of school supplies in pencil all around the border. Step 3: Students outline all the objects traced using a fine line marker. Step 4: Students add patterns and lines using a combination of BLACK fine line and Crayola thick markers. Using a ruler or meter stick the students create a 10 cm by 10 cm border on white cartridge paper. Students do the initial outlines in pencil and then go over the whole design with a combination of fine line and thick markers. Love this design...it reminds me of a heart monitor. Make sure the student also goes over the "border" lines with a ruler and black fine line marker. Adding creative patterns to the outlines. Try to emphasize a combination of thick and thin lines. Also contrast of light and dark. You can see the realistic details blend with the creative pattens. This student is using a variety of "dots" in different sizes to add pattern to his mat. Step 5: Once the students have finished the black and white border they are allowed to do anything in the "middle" section of the desk mat. The only thing they MUST include is their name. I encourage them to use LOTS of colour and a variety of media. Some students bring in pictures from home, some draw their favourite objects, some print images from the computer. They often use a combination of pencil crayon and marker for this part of the project. Step 6: After students have finished the inside design and the outside patterns, they go back to the border section. Here they use a fine line marker to fill all the "white" space in the background with dots. This can be tedious for some students but the finished effect is worth it. Some days it sounds like there are woodpeckers in the classroom as several students are making their dots at the same time. Step 7: I laminate all the desk mats. I know this is not considered very environmentally friendly, BUT it prevents a lot of messy desks, which prevent the use of chemicals and cleaning products. The desks remain pristine and therefore last longer. The students are also very PROUD of their work, and most keep the mats for years and years to come. I can honestly say this is my all time favourite activity for back to school and to start teaching art. What is your favourite go to activity?
