The Hot Seat
It's an interesting job to bond your students to one another. However, the better they work as a group, and love each other as a family the more distance you can cover academically.
In order to accomplish this we've been moving through the class - taking turns on the hot seat. Each kid gets to sit on the special chair in the front and their classmates get to ask them questions. Then we all share something we appreciate about that student. Yesterday, Julia was on the hot seat, and we were hearing "she's such a good friend" "she's very kind" "Julia is a good helper" "Julia is definitely an optimist", which was quickly followed by "Better than a communist!" from Emery. That brought a quick end to Julia's turn as we all erupted in laughter.
