Me Museum – Build a Positive Classroom Community

Build a Positive Classroom Community That First Week of School
Building a classroom community where your students feel safe, trusted and loved is important during the first few weeks of school. Doing so, you will see many benefits including a successful year. This past week our second grade class had our ME MUSEUM day. On the first day of school the students got their first homework assignment which was the Me Museum assignment sheet attached to 3 index cards and a rectangle card stock sheet that was cut 4 in x 11 in (any size works). They took this home and worked on their Me Museum display all week. They brought their display items on Friday and we set them up on their desks. I went over the expectations during the Me Museum Gallery Walk… 
1. No touching the displays
2. Use kind words to compliment our classmates
3. Use time wisely and stay engaged during the gallery walk
I was shocked that all my 2nd graders after being in school for 5 days could handle these tasks effortlessly! After we all walked around and observed the displays, we all came together and talked about what we saw. I had each child compliment another child’s display sharing what they liked and why. Then we shared something new that we learned about a classmate. I modeled these before the students shared. At this point, I took my students to recess and while they were outside, I took post it notes and walked around and left each child a compliment next to their display! The students loved sharing hobbies and interests about themselves and I especially loved learning about each one of my students!

My name is Rebecca Miller I'm from united state, i have been married for 4 years and i have a break up with my husband 3 months ago and i was worried and so confuse because i love him so much. i was really going too depressed and a friend directed me to this spell caster Dr. Laco and i made all my problems known to him and he told me not to worry that he was going to make my husband to come back to me and in just 48hours re-unite me and my husband together. After Two days my husband called and told me he is coming back to sought out things with me, I was surprise when I saw him and he started crying for forgiveness. Right now I am the happiest woman on earth for what this great spell caster did for me and my husband. i have never in my life believe in spell and but now it have just helped me and i am now so happy. All Thanks to him and if you also want to have your Husband back to yourself here !! his emailAddress(lacopowerfulspellcaster@yahoo.com) i am so happy to testify of your work and kindness.

  2. I have worked at schools at both ends of the spectrum. I worked at a very rich district in the suburbs of Chicago, and I worked at an inner city school in the city of Chicago. It all has to do with the ethos of the school. If your school ethos values learning and building an enduring love of learning, your classroom is going to have an over whelming supply of online custom dissertation writing books, physical education. If your school culture is just to show up and keep the kids under control during the day, and to provide structure when there is none at home, you are going to have a meaningfully different knowledge.

  3. I do this every year as well. Thank you so much for sharing the form. I created one and could not find the original on my computer. You are a lifesaver!
