Description

This activity uses a ritual of gratitude to foster community and recognize individual achievement. It also serves as a session-ending transition and can be a tool for creating healthy closure.

Направления

• Make a ‘Thank You’ statement to the entire class acknowledging some way their effort stood out that day. This could be about anything: teamwork, attitude, ability to redirect after a rough start, willingness to try a new activity, etc.
• Circle the room, stopping at each student and gently say, “Thank you,” to them. Don’t forget the Classroom Professionals. 
• When you have thanked everyone individually, again address the class with a “Thank all of you!” and a closing farewell.

Transition Into Activity

Заставьте учеников сосредоточиться на вас, прежде чем вы благодарите всю группу.

Transition Out of Activity

Эта деятельность часто бывает незаметной. Дайте время для завершения ритуала, прежде чем переходить к следующему занятию.

Обустройство класса

Students can be at desks, tables, or in a big circle.

Опоры / Адаптивные материалы / Инструменты

• “Thank you” can also be written or signed.
• Address students in the way they feel most comfortable. This may mean adjusting your level, approaching from the side, or foregoing eye contact. The key is to ensure  they know you are speaking directly to them.

Possible Roles for Classroom Professionals

• Предупредить вас, если студент отсутствовал за своим столом и, возможно, пропустил свое личное спасибо.
• Model accepting your thanks with grace.

Adjustments for Remote Instruction

After you offer a full group thank you, then call each student by name to address a thank you to them. Don’t forget students who have their cameras off and the Classroom Professionals.
