January Recap
We appreciate your willingness to share your class time and allow us to see your students each month!
Your Students Said What?
1. Why is Working Together Better?
Things get done faster!
We get to work with others.
Everyone shares the work.
We all share the same goal.
2. How is Synergizing hard?
People can be bossy.
Because you have to work with people even if you don't like them.
You have to come to an agreement.
People have different ideas & opinions.
Some people are awkward.
Some people are mean and some are crazy.
3. How can we become better at Synergizing in our classroom?
We can share and help one another.
To learn with other people & be nicer.
Calm down & focus.
We can practice sharing, using our strengths, & respecting others.
By talking to each other.
Sometimes we can be the bigger person.
By saying what we are WILLING to do, not just what we WANT to do.
Looking for other people's strengths, not weaknesses.
By listening to each other.
