Mrs. Gipson-Penn’s Classroom Edit display name

The rug will be used for our Peace Circle discussions. Daily, students and I will sit in a circle to discuss our next field trip, problem solving, introducing a new student, and other important issues that students feel we, as a class need to discuss. The Peace Circle will encourage cooperation and unity in the classroom. The goal of the Peace Circle is to build a positive community which will allow students' opinions and/or ideas to be respected and validate. Students will be able to stretch out on the rug and read one of their favorite books to themselves or with another student.
