My Project
I have a 6th-grade homeroom. I've never had a 6th-grade homeroom and I know that beginning middle school can be stressful. This year, while families are still affected by the pandemic and students continue to adjust back to in-person learning has its challenges. We spend much of our time in homeroom participating in social emotional learning. One of these lessons had the class passing juggling balls in different orders. The goal was to see how our brains grow even when we don't think we can accomplish the task. Not only did my students love the activity, but they wanted more.
My students found joy with our class juggling and want to learn how to juggle on their own.
When students are outside, laughing while learning a new skill, they take a much-needed emotional break. They also work on social skills, complementing, making mistakes, and teaching each other. I can't wait to begin.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
