The Supportive Classroom

The blog and podcast are used to share the ideas and accomplishments of schools that are implementing the Supportive Classroom. The Core Concepts of Belonging, Trust, Sharing and Respect form the foundation of the curriculum.


Kindergarten Belonging Activity

Posted on October 10, 2005

If you listen to my Podcast (Episode 2) you will hear audio of a lesson that Mary Wood, the SCOPE Coordinator of the Swanton Elementary School, and I did for 5 kindergarten classes this past Thursday. This was our way of intorducing ourselves to the new kindergarteners at Babcock School. We spend about 25 minutes with each of the five classes. I have to be honest, Mary planned the lesson and I was along for the ride. She did allow me to read the story, Friendship Day. Friendship Day is the first book of Disney's series "Lessons from the 100 Acre Woods". It is a Winnie the Pooh book that all of the younger children loved!

Mary made paper hats (like the hats Christopher Robin made in the story) for the children to decorate and complete the sentence " I am a Special Friend because....".

Listen to the podcast! There is a suprise song at the end.
