    Although I didn't get to see Wendy's presentation, she was so gracious
    in sharing her ideas and all her stuff!  These are wonderful way to bring
    Conscious Discipline into upper grade classrooms.  Many teachers feel
    CD can't be adapted for upper grades-Wendy proves it absolutely can
    be done, and done so well!!

     
    More Ideas...
    (These were on display throughout our week-I've tried to give full credit
    where it's due!!

    Safe Place Ideas

    Made from a plastic tablecloth-the


    Various ideas-posters and visuals kids start on either side and follow
    with clip art and photographs of the the steps (literally) and use the
    kids doing the stressbuster words at each step.  They end in the
    activities middle with some way of connection-
    hug, handshake, smile, etc.

    "Acts of Kindness" Board ritual book-she wrapped a huge box
    and the kids role played opening each
    other up-here's the book to
    accompany!  The last page was a
    mirror...
    We added a heart for every kind act
     
    noted-the tree was full by the end of
    each day!!

    A Stressbuster Visual-pick one for


    the day! Katja designed this to give a visual
    communicative tool in the Safe Place-
    loved this!!
    This was fabulous!!  A portable job tool kit!  The jobs are labeled on the
    side with pictures of the job, the child's photograph beside it, and a job
    pin to wear.  In the drawers are all the tools the children need to do their
    jobs.  I didn't get the name of this brilliant teacher but would love to!!! 
    This was one of my favorites-especially for those of us in Florida who are
    struggling to find ways to meet fire safety standards limiting our wall
    space!
