We love rainbows here for many reasons, so think I'll find a way to be adding rainbow from kind words idea into our program. <br />Think your approach with a "Peacekeeper" job is wonderful. What a strong way to really set positive life lesson into place.CountryFunMainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05063504672889607214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642638685770090679.post-35657402998682205952013-01-30T14:38:53.739-05:002013-01-30T14:38:53.739-05:00Hi Heidi!

We inquired into reasons of conflict, actions to resolve conflict and personal input in the immediate environment. In the class we looked for problems, we brainstormed, we observed them (kids were asked to go to the playground/cafeteria and notice/draw a problem), we discuss them, we dramatized them. Secondly, we look for solutions. We also have a job of a peacekeeper in classrooms that kids really loved first and then started to really feel responsible and being proud of helping others and solving problems independently. My students even created a tag for "PEACEKEEPER" job:)<br />This unit looked and sounded very hard for new teachers of our team, but I personally think this inquiry really help my students recognize a problem and take actions to solve BIG problems of their little world...Alona (Little People Learn)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07903468409273125449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642638685770090679.post-79768149025196534392013-01-30T12:08:51.692-05:002013-01-30T12:08:51.692-05:00I LOVE this Heidi. :)I LOVE this Heidi. :)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245585747921976934noreply@blogger.com
