In our school we work on showing three words: respectful, responsible and safe. These words are very difficult for our English language learners to understand and show. One way we work on these is with some in class choice time during the week where all students have to work in a small group on the same activity. A few examples include building things, making patterns, creating posters, or playing a game. Providing my students with the opportunity to work with Legos, K'Nex, puzzles, magnetic tiles, checkers, and Jenga blocks will help my students learn to problem solve and listen to each other's thoughts and ideas while strategizing how to build something or solve the task at hand. In order for the task to be completed they will have to work together and part of this means teaching each other how to treat peers the way they want to be treated, taking turns, using kind words, encouraging each other, and explaining how unkind actions make them feel. This time is not teacher led, it is student led. It creates a sense of ownership for their actions and teaches them how to deal with different situations. These life skills will continue to impact their learning throughout their education and life.
