We can weather our problem daily reinforcement

The Friendzy Weather Our Problems Daily Reinforcement Tool creates space for students to practice self-awareness by identifying their emotions.

 SUMMARY:

Teaching students self-regulation and problem-solving skills is crucial for their growth and development.

One solution-focused approach is to use a weather chart to help students scale their problems. This chart allows students to rate their current emotional state on a scale from 1 to 7, helping them identify the size of the problem they're facing.

Using this easy-to-use tool, students can better regulate their emotions and become their own problem solvers. As they learn that big emotions come and go, they can make choices that will help them return to sunnier weather. Incorporating this weather chart into your teaching is a great way to support your students' emotional growth.

Here are some guiding questions you can ask your students as you move through this tool:

IF YOU ARE BETWEEN A 1-3:

  • Yay! Things are going great! What is helping you be here?

  • What can you do more of to stay here?

  • What does being at this number tell you what you need?

IF YOU ARE BETWEEN A 4-7:

  • What would move you down a number or two? Is there a coping skill that would help?

  • When things are going better, what will you notice is different?

  • What does being at this number tell you that you need?

FIVE-FINGER FULL VALUE CONTRACT

Classroom Expectations | Refresh, Revise, Reset! 

The midpoint of the school year is an excellent time to refresh, revise and reset your classroom expectations. And this year, with the movement between remote, hybrid and in-person learning environments, reminding students of expectations (and perhaps even setting them for the first time for in-person learning) is especially important. 

Equally as important as revisiting classroom expectations is garnering student buy-in. One of the best ways to do this is to allow students the opportunity to take part in reviewing and refreshing classroom expectations!

Student involvement in building classroom culture and expectations increases their ownership and sense of responsibility, which in turn, increases the likelihood of students adhering to those expectations and encouraging their peers to do the same. We’ve created three grade-banded print-outs of this helpful tool.

 

What is a Five Finger Full Value Contract? 

A full value contract, also known as a full value commitment, is a group agreement that outlines the set rules and expected behavior of that group. The Full Value contract framework emphasizes mutual respect and working together to create a culture that emphasizes keeping all group members physically and emotionally safe.

The Five Finger Full Value Contract provides scaffolding for the key components of an effective social contract. Each finger holds a specific meaning that is easy to remember. Every five finger contract may vary, but the typical components include: 

  • Pinky | Safety Our pinky finger is the smallest and most vulnerable finger. It reminds us to practice safety so that we keep ourselves and each other from getting hurt. 

  • Ring Finger | Commitment The ring finger is historically where a ring goes to signify a specific commitment to yourself or someone else. It reminds us that we are committed to our classmates. 

  • Middle Finger | Kindness: The middle finger reminds us to be kind and respectful to one another, doing our best to not put others down. 

  • Pointer Finger | Responsibility: Did you know when you point your finger at someone, three other fingers are pointing right back at you? The Pointer finger reminds us to take responsibility for our actions instead of blaming others. 

  • Thumb | You Can Do It! In many cultures, a thumbs up is a gesture of approval. It can be a reminder to ourselves that we are capable of doing new and hard things, and it can be a reminder to encourage others when we recognize they need someone to cheer them on.
