Student Activities
It is important to note, all the activities that
have been taken from Sapon and Shevin have an
astrix by the title.

Class Meetings

• These meeting would consist of the
  entire class getting together everyday and having
  a discussion. This discussion could include news
  or problems the children want to share.

• This kind of group discussion, following certain
  rules, brings the class closer and allows for a
  better understanding of one another.

Student Activities
Guess Who
This game is conducted by the teacher. The
teacher will give the students clues. It is the
students job to try and guess who the teacher is
describing.
Hopefully, the students learn that they are not
as different as some make them out to be.

Student Activities
Compliment Circle
This is more a self esteem builder than a game.
The students will first sit in a circle. After
the children have found a seat, the helper of the
day, who sits in the middle of the circle, gives
a object to whom ever he/she chooses. (this
object signifies who is speaking.)
The object is then pasted to the left after the
person receiving it has been giving a compliment.
