Chapter 6 talks about having students contribute their unique
strengths to the classroom. How do you have students contribute
to your classroom community?

I think the main way I do this is by what the book says on page
180 "Structure the environment so children's gifts are made
public" I try to notice ways that kids are helping other kids in
the classroom. This week, a boy told another boy that he was a
very good artist during writing. I said something like "Joseph,
that was very kind of you to compliment Armando. That was
encouraging." Or if someone helps someone else clean up, I would
say something like "Maria helped Aniya clean up the crayons on
the floor. That was helpful!" Another thing we can do is focus
on what they are doing during challenging tasks or situations.
Saying something like "You tried really hard and you did it!" Or
"You are working really hard to __________. Keep it up!"

One way that I have my students contribute, or be of service to
our classroom community is by posting a job board. Although my
job board might not be exactly how "Conscious Discipline"
recommends, I see that kids like to do their jobs, and every
Monday they are eager to know which job they have to do. The
jobs in my class are: door holder, table cleaners, breakfast
helpers, trash helpers, teacher helpers, writing helpers, math
helpers, line leader and Smart Board helper. I am convince that
this jobs contribute to our classroom community and it helps
students feel the benefits of being of service. I want to
introduce the job of "Greeter" and a "Wish Well Leader."

I wish I structured everything to make every kid successful I
just feel some kids are off the wall and it's hard to find their
way of success on matters. I try my best.
