Building a classroom community that promotes a positive culture and growth mindset is one of the most important things you can do to support your students’ academic and social-emotional success.
Lakeshore Learning has some great resources to support you in creating this type of environment for your students.
Diversity and Inclusion Prompt Cards
These prompt cards involve students in engaging discussions about diversity and inclusion. These are great prompts to use during Speaking and Listening, classroom circles, or as daily writing prompts. The prompt cards target standards in developing awareness of oneself and one’s culture, celebrating people’s differences, understanding fairness, and developing empathy. You can find the cards here on LakeshoreLearning.com.
Paragraph of the Week
I just got these journals and I am so excited to use them with my students. My goal is to use these journals to boost my students’ confidence in writing. I hope to use them during our structured intervention time because it will allow me more time to provide feedback. Students can also use these independently to create their own writing in each of the writing genres. Click here to see them online.
Grab and Write Social-Emotional Prompts
You can strengthen social-emotional learning in the classroom with these engaging prompt cards. They are great for daily writing or group conversations. The cards cover topics such as friendship & teamwork and self-control. You can lead a class discussion or classroom circle by simply picking a card from the mystery box. I have also used these in small group rotations to help students focus on social-emotional topics and discussions. You can find them here.
Growth Mindset Journals
If you’re just coming back into the classroom or if you’ve been in person this whole school year, it’s not too late to start developing and fostering a growth mindset with your students. These journals are perfect daily starters. They offer great quotes, opportunities for writing and class discussion, as well as opportunities to develop and put their growth mindset into practice.
