Читать книгу If You Don't Feed the Students, They Starve - Neila A. Connors - Страница 19

Following are specific activities and ideas that can be implemented to reinforce how to F.E.E.D. students so they don't S.T.A.R.V.E.:

1 At each table of teams identify the definition of each term (dignity and respect), three activities already in place that emphasize dignity and respect, and one activity that each adult personally does to emphasize dignity and respect.

2 Have teams identify qualities of a meaningful relationship in a staff meeting. Share and have a discussion on building relationships with students.

3 Encourage random acts of kindness in students and adults. Create an “I saw you being KIND today” certificate to give out to students caught being kind. They can go to the office to share with the administration and receive a reward.

4 Discuss the history of Native Americans with students. Share the Native American Code of Ethics and discuss each blessing:

 Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy, and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.Treat the guests in your home with much consideration. Serve them the best food, give them the best bed, and treat them with respect and honor.Do not take what is not yours, whether from a person, a community, the wilderness, or from a culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.Respect all things that are placed upon this earth. Whether it be people or plants.Honor other people's thoughts, wishes, and words. Never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them. Allow each person the right to personal expression.Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative energy that you put out into the universe will multiply when it returns to you.All persons make mistakes. And all mistakes can be forgiven.Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind, body, and spirit. Practice optimism.Nature is not FOR us, it is a PART of us. Animals, plants, and other living creatures are all part of your worldly family.“A positive attitude may not solve all of your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort!”Herm AlbrightChildren are the seeds of our future. Plant love in their hearts and water them with wisdom and life's lessons. When they are grown, give them space to grow.

1 Conduct a “Respect Survey” for every adult and student in the FSS during the first or second month of school and as needed throughout the year. This survey requests the following:Do you consider yourself a respectful person?What do you do to demonstrate respect to others?What disrespectful acts have you observed personally and toward others?
