Dear Grade 5 Parents,

Starting Monday I am implementing a plan in my classroom to help the students build community.

It is based on a model of mutual respect, communication, and effective problem solving. As students interact with each other during the week they often do many kind things and sometimes may do things that are unkind. The way this will work is that once weekly, (Friday’s religion class) students will have the opportunity to formally compliment their classmates for something they have done during the week. If an issue or dispute arises during the week that a student wants the class to address (e.g. a playground issue or teasing) the student will have the opportunity to explain how the incident made them feel and ask the other person to stop. If a student wants the class to address a dispute they will first have to wait at least 30 minutes and then write their concern in a meeting book that will be kept on my desk.
If the problem continues I will then intervene. Of course anything serious will be dealt with promptly either by administration or me.

Mr. Hakstol
